What was Khmer rouge and Pol pot's relation with Cambodia?
How did this question come about? They have everything to do with Cambodia. Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge, the Communist party which ruled the country, and killed between 1 and 2 million people in a very short time there, out of a population of 8 million, until the slightly less nasty fellow Communist Vietnamese army defeated them, at which point they fled into the jungle. The Khmer Rouge are called that because they were mainly Khmer (the main ethnic group there) and 'Rouge' is French for 'red' (i.e., Communist).

How did France have an impact on Cambodia?
Did you know that imperialism is what led to the killing of 1.7 million citizens of Cambodia? Believe it or not, it's true! During the 19th and 20th century Cambodia was ruled by French, Japanese, and Khmer Rouge imperialism, which has caused Cambodia to have a genocide that caused much immigration and death. The French introduced Communism, which led to Khmer Rouge executing any smart Cambodian they could lay their hands on. To find out why and how, continue to read this essay on imperialism in Cambodia. In 1863, Cambodia under king Norodom became a protectorate of France. What it means to be a protectorate is to be a weak state under a much stronger state, or in this case a country. The reason the French signed to take over Cambodia was because they were afraid the Siamese would expand too fast (and far), so they signed weakening the Siamese protection. The first French rule was fairly peaceful, until it ended in WWII because Japan took over. Though in 1946 (about 4 years later) the French went back to Cambodia and brought Communism with them. After much struggle Cambodia eventually won their independence in 1953. Cambodia would never be ruled by France again.

Who was to blame for the cambodian genocide?
It was the Pol Pot goverment as he turned into a extremist Darwinian, he took the "Survival of the fittest" motto to heart as Hitler and Stalin did. Surviving the Pol Pot genocide was next to impossible. Once a group was rounded none of them was ever released. After torture and interrogation, sometimes stretching over several months, all of these men, women and children were brutally put to death. The Khmer Rouge in retreat had some help from American relief agencies - 20,000 to 40,000 guerrillas who reached Thailand received food aid -and the West also ensured that the Khmer Rouge (rather than the Vietnam-backed communist government) held on to Cambodia's seat in the United Nations: the Cold War continued to dictate what allegiances and priorities were made.
