The Khmer Rouge flag is significant in Cambodian history as it symbolizes the brutal regime that ruled the country from 1975 to 1979. Under the leadership of Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge implemented radical policies that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people through forced labor, starvation, and executions. The flag represents a dark period of Cambodian history marked by genocide and widespread human rights abuses.
