What happen in Cambodia? (killing filed)





I recently traveled to Southeast Asia and went to Cambodia.

Contrary to the brilliant history of museums, reality is a mess.

Everywhere There are beggars begging on the streets, garbage is messed up and sucks smells

I was convinced when I saw modern and contemporary history. This was not a normal country history.



The architectural style of Cambodia is similar to that of Vietnam and Thailand, because it was invaded several times.





Cambodia was a French colony. Unusual is not the invasion of France.

The King of Cambodia wanted to enter the French protectorate to escape the Thai threat.

After two requests, it belonged to Indochina Federation(French colonies) in 1863.

Cambodia is an agricultural country with little underground resources so France has left Cambodia.

It even gives the Vietnamese a Cambodian rule.



After World War II, Japan expanded its forces to Southeast Asia.


In this process Cambodia becomes a Japanese colony.


Japan is defeated, and Cambodia tries to be independent. Cambodia goes back to French territory.


In 1953, Cambodia became independent. The photo is the independent gate of Cambodia.

It is called the Kingdom of Cambodia from 1953 to 1970.


King Sihanouk used secret police to purge the opposition.

It greatly backed democracy.

And than Cambodia sent a friendly gesture to the Soviet Union and the United States in neutral diplomat. 

But this made Cambodia an unreliable country.




Later Cambodia was friendly to China. And Supported North Vietnam.

So the US secretly bombs Cambodia.

In addition to that Purged opposition armed guerrilla warfare.

The country is in turmoil.



In 1970, Ron Knoll and the National Assembly defeated Sihanouk. while he is abroad.

Centered on military forces friendly to the United States is causing a coup.

Establish the Khmer regime. 

But I can not stay long.


It is because of Paul port.

Paul Port is head of a radical armed group called Kmerer Rouge. The group grew up in rural areas.

They planted anti-American ideals using the bombing of Cambodia by the United States.

And than they continued guerrilla warfare.

As the United States withdraws from Vietnam, the Khmer regime loses strength.

And The King of Sihanouk supported Paul Port and tried to take power.

In 1975, the Khmer Rouge occupied Phnom Penh.

In 1976, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Kampuchea was established.

And hell spreads.



Paul Port dismisses King Sihanouk and started killing filed

Cambodia has been devastated by the massive bombing of the US military and continued guerrilla bombing, and agricultural output has declined.

Paul Port attempts to break through this with a socialist agricultural group system based on Maoism.

Paul Port begins the massacres of imperialists, frinedly USA people and the construction of a clean socialist state.

Foreigners were also executed if they could not escape to the embassy.

Cambodia has been disconnected from the outside for four years.

At that time, the gap between urban and rural areas was severe.

The Khmer Rouge used this to make people have hostility towards the bourgeoisie, and people were willing to join the massacre.



But it will be over in four years because of Vietnam.

The Khmer Rouge raises a border dispute in search of the territories that have been taken from Vietnam.

And they kill Vietnamese Cambodian people.

Vietnam simply took over Cambodia and set up a Vietnamese puppet regime called the Kampuchea People's Republic.

However, after seeing Vietnam occupy Cambodia


The Khmer Rouge do that a young child has been struck to death here.


Vietnam used the Killing Field in Cambodia to try to justify the invasion.

Three million are reported to be slaughtered.

However, according to a survey by the Neutral Nations Investigation Committee and Harvard University at Yale University, we estimate at least 800,000 to a maximum of 1.5 million.



The United States and China will establish diplomatic relations. And naturally, the gaze goes to Vietnam.

China invades Vietnam for the liberation of Cambodia both inside and outside the country.

The United States supports the guerrilla warfare of Paul Fort and the Khmer Rouge in order to contain Vietnam.

The Vietnam army regime will end as the Vietnamese army withdraws from Cambodia in September 1989.

On October 23, 1991, the Cambodia Peace and Paris Agreement was held to end the 20-year civil war.

but Paul Port still alive, The Khmer Rouge continues guerrilla warfare.

In 1998, Paul Fort died of a heart attack in the village

Khmer Rouge surrenders next year.

The civil war is officially over.

King Sihanouk again regained control.

Prime Minister Hun Sen of the People's Democratic Party of Cambodia, who was a leader of the Vietnamese puppet regime, is in power.
