When did the Khmer rouge take over?

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.


Why Cambodia poor?

When the Khmer Rouge took over Lol Nol they moved all people of Phnom Penh out of the urban areas into the agricultural areas and de-modernised everything, no hospitals, no schools. People were killed for having soft hands even. Money became worthless within this time. This demodernisation took Cambodia back to "year one" as it is called thus having to start modernisation and increasing Cambodia's worth from ground up.


Who were the Communist forces that took control of Cambodia in 1975?

No foreign nation took over Cambodia. The communist backed Cambodian Rebel's called the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia. Vietnam briefly occupied Cambodia in the late 1970's to set up a new government that could control it's own borders better. Cambodian rebels kept causing problems on the Cambodian/Vietnamese border, so the Viet's had had enough of it, and invaded Cambodia to clean up the place.

Who was the war between Cambodia Civil War?

The Cambodian Civil War (1970-1975) was between the Khmer Rouge, a Communist party led by Pol Pot, and the anti-Communist Government led by Lon Nol. It was a very violent civil war but eventually, the Khmer Rouge took power and all enemies of Pol Pot were immediately executed. Initially, the people of Cambodia were overjoyed that the fighting was over and thought the communists would bring peace. But within days, Pol Pot ordered the roundup of all intellectuals and Khmers living in the cities and sent them to forced labor camps. For the next four years from 1975-1979, the Cambodian Genocide would take place and two million innocent Khmers would be murdered.

What is used to color cheeks?

What is used to color cheeks? There is blush, which comes in a choice of colored powders. At times the powder is loose but most blush powder comes compacted together in a form. No matter which type powder one uses it is usually applied to the cheek with a brush. Rarely some apply compacted powder rouge to the cheek with a powder puff. Also to color cheeks there is rouge. Rouge also comes in a choice of colors. Rouge comes in a pot or compact as a cream. Rouge also comes in a small bottle as a liquid. The fingertips are brushed across the colored cream. Then the rouge is blended off the fingertips onto the skin of the cheek. Rouge also comes in a small bottle as a liquid. I do not recommend liquid rouge as it puts a large amount of color on the face from even one small fingertip drop from the bottle. This small drop of liquid rouge takes a lot of strong fingertip blending on the cheek, over and over again to get any evenness of color. Also, with liquid rouge, it can be that no matter how hard and long you blend the rouge into your cheek, you will always have too loud of color on your cheeks.
