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).

What was pol pots year zero fom the cambodian genocide?

"Year Zero" refers to the period in 1975 when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia, marking the beginning of a radical transformation of society. They sought to create an agrarian communist utopia, leading to the forced evacuation of cities, mass executions, and widespread famine. This brutal regime resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people, or about a quarter of the Cambodian population, between 1975 and 1979. The term "Year Zero" symbolizes the Khmer Rouge's intent to erase Cambodia's past and start anew.
