The Samlaut Uprising, otherwise called the Samlaut Rebellion or Battambang Revolts, consists of two significant phases of revolts that first broke out near Samlaut in Battambang Province and subsequently spread into surrounding Provinces in Cambodia during 1967-1968. The revolutionary movement was largely made up by the dissident rural peasantry led by a group of discontented leftist intellectuals against Prince Norodom Sihanouk’s political organization –the Sangkum regime.

dbo:abstract
  • Als Samlaut-Aufstand (englisch Samlaut Uprising oder Samlaut Rebellion) wird ein Aufstand gegen die herrschende Regierung der Sangkum Reastr Niyum (kurz Sangkum) bezeichnet, welcher am 11. März 1967 im Bezirk der kambodschanischen Provinz Battambang ausbrach. Der Aufstand gilt als Beginn des Kambodschanischen Bürgerkriegs. Der Aufstand griff schnell auf weitere Provinzen des Landes über und konnte erst nach massiven Bomberangriffen auf Dörfer der Aufständischen im folgenden Jahr unterdrückt werden. Auslöser des Aufstandes war die Erhebung von Steuern und die Festlegung von Preisen auf Reis. Die Regierung entsendete Soldaten in das Reisanbaugebiet Battambang, um Schmuggel von Reis nach Vietnam zu unterbinden. Der Aufstand begann mit der Ermordung von zwei Soldaten durch die Aufständischen. Während des Aufstandes wurden Hunderte getötet und mehrere Dörfer komplett vernichtet. Der Aufstand führte zum Erstarken der zuvor eher unbedeutenden Kommunistischen Partei Kambodschas, welche 1975 als Rote Khmer die Herrschaft über das Land übernahm. Der Aufstand kann in zwei Phasen eingeteilt werden. (de)
  • The Samlaut Uprising, otherwise called the Samlaut Rebellion or Battambang Revolts, consists of two significant phases of revolts that first broke out near Samlaut in Battambang Province and subsequently spread into surrounding Provinces in Cambodia during 1967-1968. The revolutionary movement was largely made up by the dissident rural peasantry led by a group of discontented leftist intellectuals against Prince Norodom Sihanouk’s political organization –the Sangkum regime. The rebellion first erupted in early 1967 in the Samlaut subdistrict when hundreds of frustrated peasants who were fed up with the government policies, treatment by local military, land displacement, and other poor socio-economic conditions, revolted against the government, first killing two soldiers on the morning of April 2. In the following weeks, the revolt quickly expanded with much more destruction of government property and personnel. By June 1967, 4,000 or more villagers fled their homes in Southern Battambang Province into the marquis (forest) to join the growing group of rebels and escape the military troops sent by Sihanouk. In the early 1968, Cambodia experienced a more organized and mature second uprising that expanded both geographically and politically through months of re-grouping, recruitment and propaganda processes, and was much more widespread and destructive than the first occurrence. According to some academics such as Ben Kiernan and Donald Kirk, the Samlaut rebellion is seen as the initial beginnings of the Cambodian revolutionary movement (the Cambodian Civil War) that eventually led to victory of the Khmer Rouge and the establishment of the Democratic Kampuchea. Kiernan says that the rebellion was the “baptism of fire for the small but steadily growing Cambodian revolutionary movement” while Kirk mentions that it was “a prelude, in a microcosm, of the conflict that would sweep across the country three years later.” (en)
