The Khmer Empire, one of Southeast Asia’s most powerful states, was founded by Jayavarman II around 802 CE. It expanded under rulers such as Suryavarman I and Suryavarman II, reaching its zenith with the construction of Angkor Wat. Internal conflicts and external attacks weakened it until it fell in 1431. Its architectural and cultural legacy remains striking, especially at Angkor Wat.
