During the Khmer Rouge regime, which occurred from 1975-1979, 2 million people died. The Khmer Rouge watched over people constantly making sure that they did everything right. All sick patients in the hospitals were left there to die, and if they found an educated person, they would first make them confess and later kill them. Soldiers had to watch workers day and night making sure they were loyal. Most workers died from starvation or overworking themselves. …showed first 75 words of 285 total…

…showed last 75 words of 285 total…government. From 1995 -1996, the Khmer Rouge contained many weary soldiers and they were tired of fighting. Slowly, they started losing more and more soldiers. By 1998, there were few generals in the western jungles, but not nearly as many as there were 20 years ago. Sadly, the Khmer Rouge still has an effect on Cambodia today. And as this horrible event goes back in history, we all still wonder, can something so horrible happen again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
