reflection #8 Part 6: Cambodia's Brutal Khmer Rouge Regime


The main cause of the civil war traced back to the end of World War II when a Vietnamese veteran tried to free Indochina ( Vietnam, Lao and Cambodia ) from the hands of the Japanese. In 1975, Vietnam was split into south and north Vietnam with the USA supporting the south. Washington has covertly aided and abetted the Pol Potists' guerrilla war to overthrow the Vietnamese backed government of Prime Minister Hun Sen, which replaced the Khmer Rouge regime. They will continue supporting them because if they do, they will still have control over some parts of Vietnam and thus, gaining more power and extending their dominance.
