Cham sack of Angkor
The Cham sack of Angkor occurred in 1177, when forces of the kingdom of Champa captured and plundered the capital of the Khmer Empire. The attack exposed the empire's vulnerabilities. It prompted Jayavarman VII to drive out the Cham, reorganise the military and fortify the new capital of Angkor Thom.
