League for National Salvation of Vietnamese Residents of Kampuchea
The League for National Salvation of Vietnamese Residents of Kampuchea was a pro-Viet Minh movement of Vietnamese inhabitants in Cambodia.
The organization emerged from a network of revolutionary committees formed among Vietnamese residents in the border areas of Cambodia towards the end of 1946.[1] Such groups had emerged in places like Takéo Province, Prey Veng Province and southern Kandal Province.[1] The League for National Salvation of Vietnamese Residents of Kampuchea was set up as a front organization of the Indochina Communist Party in March 1947, merging the various local revolutionary committees.[1][2] One of the first Viet Minh documents captured by the French in Cambodia was dated 30 April 1949 and revealed the existence of the League, as well as detailing a proposed Vietnamese-Khmer alliance against the French.[3][4][5]
In 1950, Vietnamese sources claimed the organization had a membership of 50,000.[6]
