Bro History 200,000 Displaced Overnight: The Forgotten War of 2025
While the world watched other conflicts, Thailand and Cambodia went to war in July 2025.
In just days, over 200,000 civilians were displaced, temples were bombed, soap operas were banned, and accusations of chemical weapons and war crimes were thrown around.
Yet coverage in the West was almost nonexistent.
In this episode of Bro History, we break down how an ancient temple, nationalist politics, and decades-old colonial borders triggered a five-day modern war — complete with fighter jets, landmines, propaganda battles, and a fragile ceasefire that solved nothing.
