China and Vietnam propped up the Khmer Rouge, US backed the Republic of Cambodia. Due to leftwing protests against US intervention in Indochina, the US pulled support for South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia which led to all three falling to communism. The crimes that occurred after were horrifying. From the “Reeducation” camps in Vietnam (essentially concentration camps), to the Cambodian Genocide of the Khmer Rouge. Communism’s worst crimes were personified in South East Asia. Turns out the US was 100% right about what was going to happen. Not a single hippy or liberal college student protested, spoke up, or did anything for these people who were horrifically abused, tortured, and killed. Communism is disgusting, and anyone who supports it should not be allowed in society

not really a fun fact but the Khmer Rouuge only fell because of Communist Vietnam, the invasion by the NVA ousted the government and forced them into a Guerilla war until the late 90's before finally being defeated. The United States at the time supported the Khmer Rouuge diplomatic and even sent military lend lease despite knowing about the genocide, because they saw them as an ally against the Vietnamese. the Chinese launched their invasion of Vietnam in an effort to save the Rouuge who diplomatically aligned with them vs the soviet's. despite all of that the Vietnamese achieved every single one of their military objects and brought an end to the violence.

Loung Ung is an incredible author that survived this. She spoke at my school after we read her book and it was truly so life changing
