There was a civil war between the Native Cambodians and the Khmer Rouge Regime. The Khmer Rouge Regime began in 1975 and ended in 1979. It has been said the Vietnamese army help chase the Khmer Rouge out of Cambodia, however, they wanted to take over Cambodia's land. Also, the U.N also came and help the Native Cambodians out. The Khmer Rouge murdered and killed at least 3 million Cambodians. So, basically, Cambodians came to America because of genocide and war. Many Cambodians that came to America were sponsored by Americans.
