Cambodia The Khmer Rouge Regime

The Khmer Rouge regime, led by Pol Pot, ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. During this time, an estimated 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians died as a result of execution, starvation, and disease, as the regime sought to create a communist agrarian utopia. The regime’s brutal tactics, including forced labor and mass killings, led to widespread suffering and devastation in Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge regime was finally overthrown in 1979 by the Vietnamese army.
