Democratic Kampuchea was a country in Southeast Asia. It was ruled by Pol Pot.
History
Pol Pot took power in Cambodia in 1975. The United States killed 500,000 Cambodians with aerial bombing and then sanctioned Cambodia. The bombings killed 75% of the country's draft animals and destroyed many rural houses.
Pol Pot executed between 75,000 and 150,000 civilians, including many pro-Vietnamese communists.[1] In 1978, Pol Pot invaded Vietnam but was overthrown by a Vietnamese counterattack in 1979. He began a US-backed guerrilla warfare campaign against the Vietnamese.[2]
