The Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia on April 17, 1975, when they captured the capital city of Phnom Penh. Led by Pol Pot, the regime aimed to transform Cambodia into a rural, classless society, resulting in widespread atrocities and the genocide of millions. Their rule lasted until January 1979, when they were overthrown by a Vietnamese invasion.
