 | | The Khmer Rouge justified its actions by claiming that Cambodia was on the brink of major famine due to the American bombing campaigns, and that this required the evacuation of the cities to the countryside so that people could become self-sufficient, however this claim is generally dismissed as an excuse by many. | | | In addition to death from work starvation and exhaustion, the regime killed anyone suspected with connections with either the defeated Khmer Republic government or the previous Sihanouk government, as well as intellectuals (Pol Pot defined anyone who wore glasses as automatically an intellectual), professionals, and also ethnic Vietnamese, Chinese, Chams, Laotians, and Thai. | | | In 1970, while Prince Sihanouk was away in Beijing, General Lon Nol seized power in a military coup d'état and declared the Khmer Republic. |

| | About Khmer |
| | Meanwhile, Khmer Communist Party guerrillas, called the Khmer Rouge, were battling Lon Nol’s regime. | | | Remnants of the Khmer Rouge and other groups organized the Coalition Government of Democratic Kâmpùchéa in opposition to the Vietnamese-backed regime and were able to retain Cambodia’s seat at the United Nations (UN). | | | Their brutality, which led to the deaths of about 1.7 million people, gave Vietnam (now united under the Communists) a pretext for invading in December 1978. |
