Explanation

Cambodia was officially known as the Khmer Republic from 1970 to 1975 under the US-backed regime of Lon Nol, following a coup that deposed Prince Norodom Sihanouk. The name Khmer Republic was chosen to emphasize the ethnic Khmer identity and move away from the monarchy, though it ended when the Khmer Rouge seized power in 1975.
