| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On 17 April 1975 members of the Revolutionary Army of Kampuchea entered Phnom Penh. Their arrival marked the culmination of years of revolution fighting, and a civil war that was embedded within the larger Second Indochina War. The victory of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK; better known as the Khmer Rouge) ushered a period of horrific proportions, as approximately one-quarter of Cambodia’s population died in less than four years. Roughly two million men, women, and children were killed either directly, by torture and execution, or indirectly, by disease, exhaustion or famine-related conditions. |
