Years: 1420 - 1431
The hydraulic irrigation system that sustains the Khmer empire is subject to frequent Thai and Cham attacks that threaten the infrastructure of the empire, which is further diminished by intermittent Thai interference in Khmer politics, civil strife, and the loss of soldiers as prisoners of war.
In late 1430, Ayutthayan monarch Borommarachathirat II initiates a siege of Angkor, finally capturing the city after seven months through the treachery of two Buddhist monks and certain Khmer officials.
The Thais sack the city.
