Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. The Cambodian Genocide occurred in the Khmer Rouge period, which refers to the time when Pol Pot was in rule. This was from 1975 to 1979. This referred to the political party, the Khmer Rouge political party, which was later renamed to the Democratic Kampuchea. This 4 year period saw the death of 1.7 Cambodians. This genocide did get worlwide support from some of the world's most powerful countries. Ultimately, the Khmer Rouge period ended with the invasion of Vietnam, which left Cambodia under Vietnamese rule for a decade.
