The Khmer Rouge plunged Cambodia into chaos. They targeted educated people, bilingual people, and even people with small items that were a mark of education, such as glasses and watches. the importance of this was that they murdered an estimated 2,000,000 people. two million. they tortured innocent people, killed others, and their idea of a "Super Race," much like the Aryans of Nazi Germany, was the "old people" or simple, uneducated peasants. The "new people" or urban folk, were worked to death in labor camps, tortured, or murdered in the killing fields. They were brutal, violent, and merciless.
