Well.. If I interpret the question correctly, then the answer would probably be in Vietnam. Due to the Ho Chi Minh Trail from the Vietnam War going through part of Cambodia, the American's had been bombing the area. Eventually, it led to the desperation of the people to regain organisation in their government, and they looked towards the Khmer Rouge troops and Pol Pot for support and guidance.
There was a civil war between the Native Cambodians and the Khmer Rouge Regime. The Khmer Rouge Regime began in 1975 and ended in 1979. It has been said the Vietnamese army help chase the Khmer Rouge out of Cambodia, however, they wanted to take over Cambodia's land. Also, the U.N also came and help the Native Cambodians out. The Khmer Rouge murdered and killed at least 3 million Cambodians. So, basically, Cambodians came to America because of genocide and war. Many Cambodians that came to America were sponsored by Americans.
The CPK (Khmer Rouge) took over Phnom Penh starting April 17th, 1975 and immediately ordered the deportation of the urban dwellers to the countryside.
A round 1500 fell. Khmer Empire fell by inner- fighting. Some Khmer leader ask help from Siam. Later, most of the land became a part of Siam empire.
The story "The Clay Marble" takes place in Cambodia during the time of the Khmer Rouge regime. It follows the journey of a young girl named Dara as she navigates the challenges of living in a war-torn country and the impact of the conflict on her family and community.
Did you know that imperialism is what led to the killing of 1.7 million citizens of Cambodia? Believe it or not, it's true! During the 19th and 20th century Cambodia was ruled by French, Japanese, and Khmer Rouge imperialism, which has caused Cambodia to have a genocide that caused much immigration and death. The French introduced Communism, which led to Khmer Rouge executing any smart Cambodian they could lay their hands on. To find out why and how, continue to read this essay on imperialism in Cambodia. In 1863, Cambodia under king Norodom became a protectorate of France. What it means to be a protectorate is to be a weak state under a much stronger state, or in this case a country. The reason the French signed to take over Cambodia was because they were afraid the Siamese would expand too fast (and far), so they signed weakening the Siamese protection. The first French rule was fairly peaceful, until it ended in WWII because Japan took over. Though in 1946 (about 4 years later) the French went back to Cambodia and brought Communism with them. After much struggle Cambodia eventually won their independence in 1953. Cambodia would never be ruled by France again.
Improving. By my own experience, I believe that the class in Cambodia is harder than in U.S. In Cambodia, u need to take chemistry, Khmer, math, biology,physics, history, health, PE, geology,and geography in every years of 4 years High school.
Sihanouk lost his power when Lon Nol asked US for help, then US overthrew Sihanouk. Lon Nol was liked an American dog, Nixon was liked his owner. After Vietnam War, Lon Nol allowed Nixon and Kissinger to oder US troop to bomb Vietnamese in Cambodia. But the one who hurt were Cambodian Civilians, the bomb that were dropped in Cambodia equaled to the bomb that was dropped in japan during WW2. 500,000 Cambodians died during the Illegal Bombing of Cambodia from 1964-1973, millions of Cambodians lost their homes. US had weaken Cambodian military and indirectly helped Khmer Rouge to come to take over Cambodia. Actually most Americans did not know about because this process was held secretly, and also illegal, Nixon's Mad Man Policy had teared Khmer people.
