Cambodia gained their independence from France after WW2 in 1953. In April 1975,
after a 5 year struggle, Communist Khmer Rouge Force captured Phnom Penh and
evacuated all cities and towns. At least 1.5 million Cambodians died from execution,
forced hardships, or starvation during the Khmer Rouge regime under POL POT.
1999 was the 1st full year of peace in 30 years , after the remaining elements of the KR
surrendered. Some of the KR are still awaiting trial today.
