Evil dictator kills lots of people, it's a familiar story.
Well, there's a bit more to it then that.
Cambodian leaders of the group Khmer Rouge wanted to return the country to a peasant state so they rounded up the intelligent and educated and brought them to what became known as the killing fields to wipe them out and leave only the subserviant behind. Below are the details and a timeline.
TimeLocationPerpetratorsVictimsNumber of victims1975 to 1979CambodiaKhmer RougePublic1.7 to 2 million
This massacre of almost 25% of the population of Cambodia was perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge during the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) communist regime headed by the late Pol Pot. 2 Their goal was to forcibly convert Cambodia into a peasant state.
Intellectuals were particularly targeted. "The Cambodian genocide is unique, though, in that for many years it remained largely undocumented, and is only now being investigated for the purposes of bringing its perpetrators to justice." 3Tens of thousands of pages of records, over 10,000 photos, and other material are being systematically documented by specialists at Yale University, the Documentation Center of Cambodia, and the University of New South Wales. Included are maps showing the locations of more than 5,000 mass grave sites -- the "killing fields."
After a delay of almost three and a half decades, genocide trials began on 2009-FEB-17 with the trial of Kaing Kech leu, a.k.a. Duch. He headed the S-21 torture center in Tuoi Dlrnh during the 1970s. Between 1975 and 1979, about 17,000 men, women and children were sent to the interrogation center. Only 14 adults and 5 children survived. Four other trials will follow: Nuon Chea, Pol Pot's "Brother Number Two"; Ieng Sary, the Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister; his wife Ieng Thirith, who was Minister of Social Affairs; and Khieu Samphan, who served as President. 15 The Khmer Rouge leader, Pol Pot, died peacefully in 1998 without having been brought to justice.

It seems that South Vietnam knew of the Khmer Rouge plot to return Cambodia to a peasant state, exterminating the educated and intellient in what became known as the killing fields. They eventually acted, after 4 years of horror for the Cambodian people overthrowing the Khmer Rouge and leader Pol Pot. The real tragedy here is that there is little justice for the victims. Pol Pot died peacefully with no retribution whatsoever for his crimes. Below are the details.

There are many reasons for the genocide in Cambodia. The leader of the Khmer Rouge (a political party that ruled ove cambodia from 1975-1979. Are the people that killed the over two million Cambodians.) said that the reason for the attacks on Cambodians was the United states bombing some of the main cities. Another reason why this genocide started was because Pol Pot (Prime minister) wanted to "Cleanse" the country of all impurities. He wanted to start over and even made a year zero ( You might have to look this one up). Anyone who uphosed was killed.

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people. Over the course of approximately 100 days from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6 through mid-July, at least 800,000 people were killed.
The term Bosnian Genocide is used to refer either to the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995, or to the ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serb Army during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. According to the ICRC data, 200,000 people were killed, 12,000 of them children, up to 50,000 women were raped, and 2.2 million were forced to flee their homes.
The Khmer Rouge period (1975-1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Khmer Rouge Communist party over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea. The four-year period saw the deaths of approximately 2 million Cambodians through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labor.
The Darfur Conflict is an ongoing guerrilla conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. Casualties have been estimated to range from 50,000 to 400,000 people.
Finally, perhaps the most well known genocide in the last 100 years is the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany. Two-thirds of the population of nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust were killed.
Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including Romani, Soviet prisoners of war, Polish and Soviet civilians, homosexuals, people with disabilities, Jehovah's Witnesses and other political and religious opponents, which occurred whether they were of German or non-German ethnic origin. By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims would be between 11 million and 17 million people.
These are just a few of the more well known examples of genocides that have occurred in the last 100 years.
