Democratic Kampuchea was the name given to Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge during their time in power. This was ended by a rapid Vietnamese invasion which began in December 1978, but after months of retreats and fighting, Khmer Rouge members loyal to the old government regrouped in the west of the country, on the border with Thailand, along with the fallen DK administration. They entered a coalition with other groups during the early 1980s in order to fight the Vietnamese-backed government now named the People's Republic of Kampuchea.
Although some were killed in reprisals, and others fled the country to hide, some former Khmer Rouge leaders are still powerful leaders in the current government.

Why did Japan invade Cambodia?
Answer 1
the truth is recently, Cambodia first started fire to Thai border, injured Thai people and damaged Thai school because of Cambodia want to grab the land of Thailand which is good economic location. Cambodia gives unactual messages to international media, mostly base in Cambodia. Many times those wrong news cause hate among cambodian and they did violende to Thais who work in Cambodia. Cambodia want to use the land at thai's sisaket province which is location of phra viharn for business while promoting world heritage site. But the land around that prasat belong to Thailand since long time ago. Angkor was a part of Thailand in siamrat or siamnakhon province, it was abandoned by Khmer which had inner-fighting at that time. Later, French indochina which has big army colonized it together with Cambodia. Nowadays, Cambodia spreadout unactual/ bias message and lie to us, with their nationalism. They injured Thai people which need peace. Actually, Thai government always use peace way but Cambodia started war again and again because of their plan to grab the land. Talking about race. There are many ancient Khmer-race which became today Thai people in Thailand. and there are plenty of Thai-race (or Siam) which today become cambodian in Cambodia especially in Siamrat or Siam nakhon, which later the name was changed to siamreap after french colonization. Now Cambodia use Phra Viharn or Phra Vihear temple as army base to beat Thailand. Cambodian arms, guns, and soldiers are killing Thai people from there. It is a shame of Cambodia on this unacceptable world heritage site.

Why have the cambodians come to New Zealand?
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.
What did the Khmer Rouge do to Cambodia?
Cambodia turned poorer and weaker during the Vietnam War because the darn Americans bombed them and Laos for no particular reason.
ANOTHER VIEW: Disagree totally with the original answer.Cambodia offered the sanctuary of their country (which was supposedly neutral in the conflict) to the North VIietnamese military in an attempt to shield their military forces from the strategic strikes and attacks by the US and their allies during the Vietnam War. The reason Cambodia did this is open to question: Possibly they did it because they were politically allied with, and in sympathy with, the North Vietnamese, or perhaps because they were afraid of military retribution against their own country if they did not offer their help. Either way, their allowance of the use of their supposedly neutral country by enemy combatants opened their borders to military incursions by the US and allied forces to eradicate the North Vietnamese military threat. No military or political action was directly initiated against the country of Cambodia or its people.
