The Khmer Rouge period (1975–1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Communist Party of Kampuchea over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea. The four-year period cost approximately 2 million lives through the combined result of political executions, disease, starvation, and forced labor.〔Locard, Henri, (State Violence in Democratic Kampuchea (1975-1979) and Retribution (1979-2004) ), ''European Review of History'', Vol. 12, No. 1, March 2005, pp.121–143.〕〔〔〔("Tell Them that I Want to Kill Them": Two Decades of Impunity in Hun Sen's Cambodia ), November 2012, Human Rights Watch, ISBN 1-56432-963-1.〕 Due to the large numbers, the deaths during the rule of the Khmer Rouge are commonly known as the Cambodian Holocaust or Cambodian genocide. The Khmer Rouge took power at the end of the Cambodian Civil War and were only toppled after the invasion of Cambodia by the neighbouring Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Cambodian–Vietnamese War. Most of Cambodia remained under Vietnamese occupation for over a decade. == Politics == By the April 1975 communist victory, Pol Pot and his associates occupied the most important positions in the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) and in the state hierarchies. Pol Pot was known as "Vach du Mach" or One with the Gun. He had been CPK general secretary since February 1963. His associates functioned as the party's Political Bureau, and they held a majority of the seats on the Central Committee. Through the 1970s, and especially after mid-1975, the party was shaken by factional struggles. There were even armed attempts to topple Pol Pot. The resultant punitive measures were taken in 1977 and 1978 when hundreds of thousands of people, including some of the most important CPK leaders, were executed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khmer Rouge rule of Cambodia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
