The Khmer Rouge was a brutal regime that ruled Cambodia, under the leadership of Marxist dictator Pol Pot, from 1975 to 1979. Pol Pot’s attempts to create a Cambodian “master race” through social engineering ultimately led to the deaths of more than 2 million people in the Southeast Asian country.
There were 750,000 Cambodians who got killed while Pol Pit and the Khmer Rouge regime were in power. This was their efforts in nationalizing Cambodia, and this terrible event was called as the Cambodian Genocide.
