Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 was responsible for one of the worst genocides of the 20th century. An estimated two million people were killed through execution, starvation, forced labor, and disease in the Killing Fields, which were mass graves scattered throughout the country. The Khmer Rouge's aim was to create an agrarian utopia, but their brutal policies led to widespread devastation and suffering.
