Script

In 1978 the Vietnamese came and overthrow the Khmer Rouge. Then many of the Khmer rouge's warriors retreated into Thailand. The warriors were backed up by the U.S and England. In Thailand they were giving food and relief by the USA. The USA supported them because of there common hate of Vietnam . Vietnam tried to established a government and a economy but this was impossible as Pol Pot policies had any one educated or professional dead.By this time the Khmer rouge were recollecting and making there way back into Cambodia with the USA funding them. The Vietnamese army had at this point no other choice but to retreat. The USA was funding the Khmer Rouge and there own funder, Russia had quit. The last of Vietnam's troops left in 1989. In this small period of time in which Khmer Rouge had been overthrown and came back, 65,000 people had been killed. The total amount of civilians estimated to have been killed by Pol Pot's tyranny is more than 2 million. Soon Cambodia returned to it's old laws like the ability to own land or religion. Although the genocide had ended the terrors of it did not. In 1995 many mass graves were uncovered which were Pol Pot's killing fields!
