The Khmer Empire

The Khmer Empire was located in modern day Cambodia. They were the main power in

Southeast Asia for a few centuries, and reached the peak of their power at AD 1200.

They built elaborate irrigation systems that allowed the production of three or four crops a

year, instead of just one.

The Angkor Wat, one of the world’s greatest architectural achievements covers about a

square mile; It was an observatory and was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. “It was built by Suryavarman II between 1113 and

1150” (Herning).

Early History of Korean Dynasties

Clans or tribes would control different parts of the country, up

until 108 B.C.E. when the Han empire established a military

government.

The Koreans borrowed many ideas from the Chinese: centralized government, Confucianism,

Buddhism, and writing.

During the Han rule, three kingdoms began to rival each other.

The Silla defeated the others and gained power over all of Korea.

Under Silla rule, the Koreans built Buddhist monasteries and

developed a writing system that used Chinese characters.

• After about 50 years of rule, wealthy landlords cause revolt again due to taxation; Koryu Dynasty ends in 1392.
