Cambodia 1980 Postage Stamp

Cambodia · 1980 ·

This stamp was issued in the immediate aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime's fall. Stamps from this period often reflect the nation's efforts to rebuild and re-establish international connections after a period of extreme isolation and devastation.

Issued in 1980, this stamp marks the beginning of the People's Republic of Kampuchea, a state established following the ousting of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge by Vietnamese forces in late 1979. The country remained in a state of civil conflict throughout the decade.
