Vietnam basically stopped this man on its own just for the Americans and Chinese to make sure he kept some sort of power all because they hated Vietnam more lol
For those who don’t know, Nightmare on Elm Street was inspired by a Khmer Rouge child refugee. This is quoted from an article: “He recounted the story of a refugee child from the Cambodian genocide, who was terrified to sleep for fear that he would be attacked in his dreams and never wake up.”
My parents suffered and survived this horrific point in history. Thank you guys over at The Infographics team for shedding a light on a very untouched topic in modern history classes and courses. It truly means a lot to survivors of this time.
His hatred of educated people is obviously rooted to his failure in school. Like a certain Austrian who failed in Art school
So much destruction from a man that sounded like a bowl of steamed rice.
My poor parents are still traumatized from him and what they have witnessed during his reign.
The fact that the US knew about the Cambodian genocide before Vietnam exposed the regime's atrocities to the world, US still supported the Khmer Rouge because of the US loss in Vietnam war
Imagine your teacher being one of the worst dictators in the world
One of the most evil men in history and he gets house arrest? Makes sense
This should have been taught in schools. This atrocity should never be forgotten. Look into the horrors that was S-21.
My grandfather was a wealthy general. He was tortured to death, beaten with bamboo sticks. That's how he died. My family lived in those camps and endured the reign. A lot of educated Cambodians had to play dumb to live.
Fun facts: most of the victims weren't killed by bullets. Due to shortage of ammunitions. beheading or smashing victim's skull by shovel were common methods. Even disembowelment in some cases. grosteque stuff.
Remember this fact: US and China were supporting Polpot. And when Vietnam fighting Kmer Rouge, US called international for blacklisting and sanctioning Vietnam. China also started a war with Vietnam soon after knowing that Vietnamese army were fighting many enemies at once (Vietnam still kind of won that war with China lol)
“And like almost all terrible events that occurred in the 70’s, Nixon got involved” 😂😂😂
The Vietnamese really are the heroes of this situation.
My dad wasn't in Cambodia at the time and my mom was born after this horrible point but my grandma had to suffer badly but she survived and I'm thankful she is still here
My mom had 10 siblings, only 4 survived.
I had the privilege of visiting Cambodia a few years ago and the museums dedicated to the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge were heartbreaking. There were pictures of soldiers tossing babies and other soldiers holding a bayonet upright and I won’t explain the rest. We were told that because so many of the older generation were executed, Cambodia lost a lot of its culture - foods, education, history, etc. The Cambodian people are incredible because even after experiencing something like that, I saw people trying to reestablish their culture and reclaim what was lost. Go Cambodia!!!
I have a co-worker of mine who was born in 1961 in Cambodia. He doesn't talk about it ever, but I heard he had to live in the jungle for 2 months, his entire family were killed beforehand. Truly horrible things humans can do.
Being a Vietnamese with the freedom to learn information, including documents from the West. I admit that the West has told a different story to change the fact that they support the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime, and claim that Vietnam invaded Cambodia, then embargoed Vietnam. If Vietnam invaded Cambodia, Cambodia cannot be an independent country now
