Well.. If I interpret the question correctly, then the answer would probably be in Vietnam. Due to the Ho Chi Minh Trail from the Vietnam War going through part of Cambodia, the American's had been bombing the area. Eventually, it led to the desperation of the people to regain organisation in their government, and they looked towards the Khmer Rouge troops and Pol Pot for support and guidance.
