trade bloc A Customs war , also known as a toll war or tariff war , is a type of economical conflict between two or more states. In order to pressure one of the states, the other raises taxes or tariff s for some of the products of that state. As a reprisal, the latter state may also increase the tariffs. One of the latest toll wars happened in 1920 s and 1930 s between the Weimar republic Weimar Republic and Poland . The earlier state, led by Gustav Stresemann wanted to force Poland by creating an economic crisis to give up its territory and increased the tolls for coal and steel products developed there. As a reprisal, the Poles increased toll rates for many German products. This led to fast development of the port of Gdynia , which was the only way Poland could export its goods to Western Europe without having to transport them through Germany.

The Customs of Cambodia Chinese is the English translated name of the document written by the Chinese diplomat Zhou Daguan roughly pronounced Joe Da gwan during his stay at Angkor between 1296 AD and 1297 AD. Zhou s account is of great historical significance because it is the only surviving first person written record of daily life in the Khmer Empire . The only other written information available is from inscriptions on temple walls. ref http www.smithsonianmag.com history archaeology angkor side.html Cardiff de Alejo Garcia Passing Notes Smithsonian Magazine History & Archaeology ref Zhou s account was translated into French by Paul Pelliot in 1902, and later from French into English by Michael Smithies. In 2007, Sino linguist Peter Harris, a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic Studies New Zealand , completed the first direct translation from Chinese to modern English, correcting many errors in previous translated versions. Harris worked in Cambodia for years and includes modern photographs and maps directly relating to Zhou s original account. This book also includes more than 100 bibliographic references, two appendices and a detailed index, all with Chinese characters for continuing research. Harris also draws a series of parallels between the voyage of Zhou Daguan and the travels of Marco Polo .
