Inner Cambodia
- ... that when the French began colonizing Cambodia, they agreed that Angor Wat was in Thailand?
- Source: "This resulted in the first Franco-Thai boundary treaty signed on 15 July 1867. In signing the treaty, Siam acknowledged the protectorate of France in Cambodia. In return, France recognized that Battambang and Siem Reap, where Angkor Wat is located, remained with Siam."[1]

- Comment: I'm using colonizing a bit loosely here, as the event in question was the declaration of the protectorate, but I didn't want it to be too technical and I think the qualification with began sort of addresses that. Also, the article uses Siam rather than Thailand, but I think the modern country name works better for DYK.
I also considered "... that Angkor Wat used to be in Thailand?" but that's probably a bit too provocative, given the nationalistic sentiments that tend to plague these topics.

Article expanded more than 5x between 23 February and 2 March. New enough and long enough. Sourcing is good. No copyvio detected. QPQ done. Hook fact is in article and source checks out. No problem with 'began colonizing'. Srnec (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
