Cambodia and The Khmer Rogue
A brief description about this period in time.
The Khmer Rouge is a period of time that when modern day Cambodia was ruled by Saloth Star, also known as Pol Pot. The Khmer Rouge political party was a communist group that ruled over Cambodia for four years from 1975 to 1979. The Khmer Rouge was founded in 1951 and ended in 1981. During their rule, the Khmer Rouge slaughtered 2 million Cambodians by executions, starvations and forced labour. This was considered a Genocide. A Genocide is when a ethnic, racial, religious or national group are being wiped out or destroyed. The Khmer Rouge also renamed Cambodia the ‘Democratic Kampuchea’. The rule of the Khmer Rouge came to a bloody end when Cambodia’s neighboring and past ally Vietman invaded Cambodia. This led to the Cambodian- Vietnamese War and the end to the Khmer Rouge.
