What groups were killed in the cambodian genocide?

Answer 1

The Cambodian genocide is not a proper genocide, but rather a democide, where the government kills citizens irrespective of their race, religion, or other defining aspect. However, since the democide resulated from the creation of massive rice paddies and unrealistic quotas, the first to die en masse were usually educated people from the cities. Additionally, the political dissidents who opposed this plan were also educated. Therefore the educated, city elites were most devastatingly hit as a group, but it was not "intended" that way. hundreds of thousands of very poor Cambodians also were tortured and murdered. Also, Khmer (the dominant ethnic group in Cambodia) were just as often targeted (per capita) as ethnic minorities.

Answer 2

It was the Pol Pot government as he turned into an extremist Darwinian, he took the "Survival of the fittest" motto to heart as Hitler and Stalin did.

Answer 3

The target of extermination during the cambodian genocide was anybody who was a potential threat to Pol Pot's communist ideals. This inclulded all intellectuals and wealthy members of society. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, police, religious leaders, etc.
