On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge gained control over Cambodia (or Kampuchea). They were a communist group that tortured, starved, and executed approximately a million Khmer/Cambodian people. Their strong government fell in 1979, but was still cautiously active until the 1990's.

The Khmer Rouge (literally Red Khmers) were the Communist guerillas in Cambodia in the early 1970s. They were created, trained, funded and equipped by North Viet Nam. After the United States Congress, in violation of its treaty obligations, cut off all military aid to South Viet Nam and Cambodia, both of those countries fell to Communist rule in April of 1975. South Viet Nam was conquered by North Viet Nam and Cambodia was taken over by the Khmer Rouge. Over the next three years the Khmer Rouge killed nearly half the population in Cambodia.
After Khmer Empire fell, kingdom of Sukhothai(Thailand), and Kingdom of Laos rose.
Along with the United States, troops were committed by Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea (i.e., South Korea), the Philippines, Thailand, Republic of China (Taiwan), the Kingdom of Laos, and the Khmer Republic (of Cambodia, which later fell to the Khmer Rouge).
In 1984, Easter Sunday fell on April 22.
