Using the internet, research at least three differnt pages on the Cambodian Genocide, and provide the links to the articles. What is the general consensus for how this trouble came to be? Are there different reseasons for why it happened? Is there any reason given that provides more of a justification then the others?
MAKE SURE TO ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE QUESTION!

well in the articles i read it says that they had the cambodien genocide was to stop the genocide and to threaten the vietnamese. and in another article it shares that it happened was because leaders wanted cambodia to become communist and the way to do that was to kill traces of people who didnt want to be involved. and to start at the year zero a fresh start.

Cambodia was caught up in the Vietnam war.
ReplyDeleteAmerican forces bombed the country relentlessly weakening an already inadequate government led by Prince Sihanouk. This along with the mass suffering of the people opened the door for a communist uprising to take control.
I would blame the war in Vietnam as the major contributor to rise of the Khmer Rouge and the Cambodian genocide

Pol Pot a Communist peasant farming society resulted in the deaths of 25 percent of the country's population from starvation, overwork and executions.
From 1969 until 1973, the U.S. intermittently bombed North Vietnamese sanctuaries in eastern Cambodia, killing up to 150,000 Cambodian peasants. As a result, peasants fled the countryside by the hundreds of thousands and settled in Cambodia's capital city, Phnom Penh.
Looks like some work getting done here. Pretty nasty situation to be sure. Looking forward to some discussion as to who is to blame.

From the looks of this article Vietnam was the thing that weakened the country. Because the country was weakened the communist party was allowed to intervine.
