In April 1941, his grandfather King Sisowath Monivang died, and at the age of 18 Sihanouk succeeded him as king of the Kingdom of Cambodia. In March 1945, on the eve of the end of World War II, Sihanouk declared Cambodia an independent sovereign state. However, after the Japanese surrender, the French colonialists re-entered Cambodia in October 1945. Sihanouk led the Cambodian people in a determined struggle against the French colonialists, forcing the French to recognize Cambodia's independence in November 1953. In March 1955, Sihanouk, in order to concentrate on his political activities, decided to give up the throne and cede the throne to his father, Norodom Suramarit. He himself served as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. He also announced the establishment of the People's Social League that year and served as its chairperson. Norodom Suramarit died in April 1960. In June, the National Assembly elected Sihanouk as head of state. US imperialism has been engaged in sabotage and subversion in Cambodia. In May 1963, President Liu Shaoqi of the People's Republic of China visited Cambodia. The US Central Intelligence Agency plotted to blow up Sihanouk's car while accompanying Liu Shaoqi from Phnom Penh Airport to the capital, but it was unsuccessful because it was busted. In November 1963, at Sihanouk's initiative, the National Assembly of the People's Social Alliance passed a resolution: "Terminate all military, economic, technical and cultural assistance given by the United States." In May 1965, American planes bombed the Cambodian border area, and Sihanouk resolutely announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the United States. In January 1970, the United States took advantage of the Sihanouks' convalescence in France to support the right-wing group of Lon Nol to hold a coup and overthrow Sihanouk. Sihanouk issued an appeal in Beijing in March, calling for the organization of the Cambodian National United Front to overthrow the Lon Noor regime through armed struggle. In May, he announced the establishment of the National Unity Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Beijing, and carried out various diplomatic activities abroad to isolate the Lon Noor regime. Sihanouk's great anti-imperialist patriotic spirit enjoys high prestige in Cambodia and even internationally.
