Without the Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodia today would certainly be economically catching up with neighboring Southeast Asian countries. such as urbanization, development of transportation, electricity, internet and possibly a Chinese-controlled economy I hate Khmer Rouge even though I am not Cambodian

Civilized ppl at our peak. Now imagine our country without Pol Pot, we would be at line with SG, Thailand or Malaysia, or even more developed than them.

Cambodian people could enjoy relatively wealthy life before the ruthless rule of the Pol Pot. I wonder how many of people in this video could survive in the dark age of Pol Pot.
My family were pharmacists and teachers in Kampot and Phnom Penh during the civil war. They were middle class, but they got a scholarship to live in the capital and go to a good university. They were middle class, but not rich, so most of my family survived. When they were interrogated by the Khmer Rouge, they lied about their jobs, ethnicity, and social class to survive. They pretended to be poor farmers to survive, but some of my family were killed later on. They worked extremely hard to survive and escaped as refugees to America after the Khmer Royge were defeated. To this day, they still have PTSD from the Khmer Rouge
Joining the military should be mandatory for all men during the Khmer republic time . If all the men joined in 1970 , Khmer republic would won the war . But these people in this video have money , didn’t care about the war and didnt worry about who would win the war. They left it to the people who needed money to join the army to fight the Khmer Rouge. It was a fatal mistake
Uh…no. Khmer Republic wasn’t just fighting Khmer Rouge, North Vietnamese and Vietcong helped the Khmer Rouge. And young men were drafted. Khmer Republic army probably would’ve continued fighting had they not been misled that the war was ending, especially with Sihanouk returning to the country. Why do you think there are photos of people on the streets cheering as the KR rolled through the streets? People were rejoicing, thinking the war had ended and then they were ambushed by the KR.

You should enjoy your "peace and prosperity", while it last. You and your kind wouldn't be able to fathom - what awaits in the near future. Everyone gets there turn, one way or the other. All things in the universe are subject to law of impermanence. No one is exempt from it.

How happy the music now, how painful after
Great video
I feel like if Khmer Rouge didn't happen, Phnom Penh could have been as developed as modern Thailand.
Back when Cambodia was a developed rich and peaceful country its so sad that all of that went to waste because of war
Phnom Penh looked as rich as Bangkok.
More Rich Than Bangkok , And In Cambodia Have A Lots Of Education People More Than Bangkok Too
@@newsandknowledge3310 Phnom Penh was more rich that, Vientiane, Hanoi, Beijing and inclusive Seoul. IMPACT
@@gabrielsoto3193 Yes Bro , Of Course
Richer than Bangkok at the time

My uncle as a doctor was also killed by Pol Pot.

Why Pol Pot? You could’ve continued this Golden Age. Why did you have to slaughter us? We’re just human beings 😭
Pol pot was created by Vietnam and China to kill us Khmer for our Homeland
my great grandfather died from pol pot 😭😭😭😭
ask the stupid teenagers who did most of the killing and destroying
Because of their Master Mao and their crazy communist ideology
@Esphaeras Praestans yes without King Norodom helped , Pol Pot was nobody.
A lot of Khmer people back then. Now Cambodia in general not just Phnom Penh people are changing.
Song please ??
