The correct answer is: an extreme political ideology.
Indeed, the movement’s ideology was a very dogmatic blend of several ideologies and outlooks. They were heavily Stalinist and Maoist in their leftism; extremely xenophobic against both foreigners and national non-Khmer minorities and extremely agrarian.
With regards to their Stalinist/Maoist outlook they believed in absolute obedience to the party and its leaders, with a set of inviolable strict rules and laws and the belief that the ends justified any means.
They loathed national minorities as they saw them as a stain on their national Khmer purity and they despised foreigners because they refused to ever be colonized again, whether by Westerners or Asians.
They also considered that urban, capitalistic society was a disease and sought to eradicate it by eradicating its people.

England and Spain had been at each other's neck from 1585 to 1603. It all started during the era of exploration of the New World. Both couhtries were vying for the wealth and power brought upon the expeditions. Another issue that both had been very tense about is religion. England was a Protestant country under the rule of Elizabeth I. Spain considered it as a religous crusade and lastly, English Seamen were attacking Spanish vessels. Because of these issues both countries were at war. Many Protestants were persecuted during the reign of Mary Tudor. Elizabeth I excommunicated the Pope,just to name a few. Spanish vessels were attacked by Drake. The war ended when Elizabeth I died and King James i issued a decree on piracy
