Pol Pot was the Prime Minister of Cambodia from 1976 to 1979, during the period when the Khmer Rouge regime held power. He was a key figure in implementing radical communist policies that led to widespread atrocities, including genocide, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people. His government aimed to transform Cambodia into an agrarian socialist society, which ultimately led to economic collapse and social devastation. Pol Pot's rule ended when Vietnamese forces invaded Cambodia in 1979, leading to his ousting.
