World Reaction to the Cambodian genocide  NO

How did the world react to this genocide?

The Chinese showed support for the Cambodian genocide. This genocide was ignored in the west because the United States was just getting out of the long fought war of Vietnam. The United States spent 16 years fighting in the Vietnam war, while Americans at home debated whether or not their troops should be there. The Vietnam war was a long bloody war with many deaths. It took place in Vietnam, Laos and Columbia. This war went on from 1959 to 1975. The United States was not about to involve themselves in another worldwide problem. The United States had their own problems to worry about and they did not participate in helping the Cambodian genocide. Although the United States did not help the genocide, President Carter did recognize the Cambodian genocide as the worst genocide he has ever seen. As for the United Nations, this genocide was completely ignored. Around the world this genocide was ignored mostly because most countries were just finishing with World War 2 and did not want any involvement with other worldwide problems.
