Cambodia Independence Day 2018
 |
Today’s Doodle honors Cambodia, the Southeast Asian nation known for its tropical rainforests and ancient temples. On this date in 1953, Cambodia declared independence from France, and now the anniversary is celebrated throughout the country.
In the capital city Phnom Penh, King Norodom Sihamoni begins the day in ceremonial fashion by visiting the independence monument on Norodom Boulevard. Surrounded by bouquets of flowers, he lights a candle in honor of those who fought for Cambodia’s independence. In the evening, there is a fireworks show is displayed in the river in front of the royal palace.
In most towns, the Cambodian flag is prominently displayed. Symbolizing national pride in Cambodian history, the flag depicts Angkor Wat, the stone temple with intricate architecture dating back to the Khmer Empire.
Happy National Day, Cambodia!

Cambodia Independence Day 2017
 |
Flags flapping against the brilliant blue sky is a sight you’re likely to see in Cambodia on this important day in the country’s history. Nearly everyone festoons their home with the blue, red, and white banner in honor of Cambodia Independence Day, which commemorates Cambodia gaining independence in 1953 after being a French protectorate for nearly a century.
On November 9th, festivities take place throughout the country, but the biggest celebrations unfold in its capital, Phnom Penh. Here, the King, Prime Minister, and government officials kick off the national holiday with a ceremony at the Independence Monument, a lotus-shaped memorial near the center of the city. Colorful balloons fill the sky, and a parade proceeds from the Royal Palace. Later, fireworks sparkle above the city, and many buildings, including the Royal Palace, remain lit up.
Today’s Doodle honors Cambodia’s 64th year of independence with the country’s iconic flying flag.
