Khmer Rouge... this political party of Camobida killed about 1.5 million people or the third of the country's population under its regime. Its name come from the French, meaning Red Khmer. This Communist Party of Kampuchea, later the Party of Democratic Kampuchea, this violent organization gave so negative outcomes to the country that its motto was "To keep you is no benefit. To destroy you is no loss." This similar thing happened in China also when the same type of the beliefs were settled and spread through the country. Until 1979, lasting four years, when it was invaded by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and was replaced by moderate Communists, there were mass killing and harrassings. Its peace agreement, the leader Pol Pot, dissolved the organization, and was put on trial. There are so many effects of this evenets that it took several years to heal from this incident. Always, these communists were trying to take over the country with force even though there are so many victims within the country. The people are not experienced with this war forces... the men and women go through series of pain and sufferings. The chaotic situation continues... the reality doesn't end that fast. And once they realize it, their loved ones are gone, and what they have left is depression and fear..
