This genocide is one of the most horrific events in world history committed by members of the Red Khmer movement during the Pol Pot regime in 1975-1979. The Red Khmers, who considered Mao Zedong to be their ideal, killed 3 million educated and skilled citizens in order to carry out their plan to build a “Cambodian-style socialism.” The Red Khmers, which has turned the country into a large concentration camp, has committed unimaginable atrocities.
According to Paul Pot’s plan to “build socialism”, all cities were destroyed, industrial facilities and other infrastructure were destroyed. For him nothing, even human life has no value. In order to save the bullets, people were killed with machetes, pitchforks or other blunt instruments and subjected to all kinds of torture. Although the Red Khmer terror was essentially similar to the terrorist attacks in other communist countries, it was more horrific and more ruthless in form. Pol Pot and his communist gangs established a dictatorship in the country, and the kingdom was abolished in 1976 under a new constitution, and in April, N. Xianuk was dismissed by the House of Representatives.
This bloody genocide, which lasted for four years, destroyed a quarter of the Cambodian population. This bloody event ended with the entry of Vietnam into the country and the defeat of the Red Khmer Army. There are almost no elderly people in the country, and the survivors are witnesses of the genocide. The Red Khmer torture site was turned into a museum after the genocide, and the complex is visited by about 500 people a day.
