don't know great detail, but I know that during the Cold War, the U.S.S.R. was very involved with Southeast Asia. Mao Zedong, the ruler of China during part of it was very closely connected to the Soviets, but their relationship started having problems, especially as the U.S. kept also trying to interfere in situations in parts of Southeast Asia as well, thus all factors I would imagine play into genocide. I'm not sure specifically which genocide you're referring to, but there were many issues between the two superpowers fighting over influence over the majority of Southeast Asia states, thus I'm sure with the flip-flopping back and forth between supporters, a lot of problems arose and death as a result. Many wars and battles were fought in that region during the Cold War as a result. Again, it's not detailed, but maybe it helps a little in the right direction

What are facts about genocide?

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action. Genocide can come in various forms including: starvation, deplacement, serious bodily or mental harm, lowering quality of life to the point where the culture is unable to sustain itself and grow, imposing measures to prevent birth within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.Some examples of genocide include: transatlantic slave trade, genocide of the Native Americans, the Herero Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Great Famine/ Ukrainian Genocide, Rape of Nanking, the Holocaust, Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, the Cambodian Genocide, Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Genocide in Darfur.
