Sack of Angkor (1431)
The sack of Angkor in 1431 was the capture of the Khmer capital by forces of the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya. It followed repeated invasions and came at a time when the Khmer Empire was already weakened by internal problems and shifting trade patterns. Accounts of the Khmer Empire treat it as a turning point after which the capital was moved southward, marking the end of the Angkorian period.
