Kampuchea Krom

Kampuchea Krom (Khmer: កម្ពុជាក្រោម, Kămpŭchéa Kraôm [kampuciə kraom], ''Lower Cambodia'') is the region variously known as Southern Vietnam, Nam Bo, and the former French Cochinchina. Bordering present-day Cambodia, the region is positioned in Cambodian nationalist mythology as a "once-integral part of the Khmer kingdom that was colonised by France as Cochinchina in the mid-nineteenth century, then wrongfully ceded to Vietnam in June 1949". In the present day, the region roughly corresponds to the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
