Sisowath Monivong (27 December 1875 – 24 April 1941) (King of Cambodia) was the King of Cambodia from 1927 to 1941. His official title was Preah Bat Samdech Preah Serei Monivarman Kum Luang Chao Chakrebangsa Sisowath Monivong of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

At the time, his eldest son, King Norodom, was reigning in Oudong, which was under French protection. In 1884 After the French took control of Laos and occupied Vietnam, Cambodia became a French colony. Siam was defeated in the war but not conquered. The royal family moved from Oudong to the new capital, Phnom Penh, where King Sisowath Monivong resided.
In 1904, after the death of his father, his father, King Sisowath, who was the crown prince, ascended the throne as king. At that time, he also became the crown prince of the Kingdom of Cambodia. In 1904, He accompanied King Sisowath to France.[1] At that time, he studied at the Saint-Maixent military academy. He completed his studies for two years and later received the rank of lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion. He was sent to Brive and then to Paris. In 1909, he returned to Cambodia. He was promoted to the ranks of lieutenant in 1910, captain in 1911, and lieutenant in 1912. 1916, Chief of Battalion. 1922, he was then exempted from military service. During World War I, he served as an active volunteer officer. This military service earned him the Cross of Commander of the Foreign Legion and the title of Samdech Preah Keo Fa. He then assumed the positions of "Secretary-General of the Cabinet" and "President of the Royal Family Association". King Monivong had many concubines, at least six of whom were officially recognized after bearing him children. Among them was a woman known as "Maek", a member of the royal dance troupe, who bore the title "Khun Preah Mneang Bophanoralak Meek". In 1934 or 1935, two cousins came to live with Meek.[2] The youngest cousin, about 6 or 7 years old, was known as "Salot Sar", who later changed his name to Pol Pot, and lived under the control of Meek until 1942.
In 1927, his father died, and King Sisowath Monivong ascended the throne at the age of 52. Like his father and his father, King Monivong was a nominal figure or person of high rank but without the power of the French administration, and full power was vested in the French Governor-General.
During King Monivong’s reign, Cambodia seemed to be open to outside communist influence. In In the 1930s, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh founded the "Indochina Communist Party", which gained considerable popularity in Cambodia. The Cambodian communists set as their primary goal the overthrow of the French. In 1940, when France was defeated by Nazi Germany, Vichy France took power in the non-French colonies. In late 1940, King Monivong was informed of the Japanese invasion of Vietnam. The Japanese invaded and occupied Cambodia in early 1941. The Japanese placed Cambodian Vichy French officials in charge under the protection of the Japanese. The Cambodian king was beholden to the Vichy French, who were in turn beholden to the Japanese. In the western part of Cambodia, Thailand, an ally of Japan, occupied some territory. After learning of the situation, King Sisowath Monivong voluntarily retired from royal duties and went to his palace on Mount Bokor in Kampot province in late 1941, where he died the same year. His royal title is ""His Majesty Preah Sisowath Monivong Preah Khattikoth".
Although King Monivong's son, Prince Sisowath Monireth, was the rightful heir to the throne, the French authorities decided to choose King Monivong's grandson and the son of Prince Sisowath Kosom and Prince Norodom Suramarit, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, to succeed the throne, believing that he was easier to persuade than Prince Sisowath Monireth.
