@Tom Foster I'm 38, aside from a very basic level of history taught in school growing up, most of what I learned about the last 200 years outside of WW1 & 2 outside of the US came from2 classes I took in getting my BA: North American Seafaring and Dictators, with the latter teaching me the most. Both were electives. Outside of those, Simon's channels (and to a lesser extent a couple of others) have far outstripped all of my education in educating me on history. I don't mean to degrade what he does, but I think it's pretty pathetic that a KZfaqr has taught me more about the world than an American education including college *AND* the media.

Yes it's a forgotten War but not much has changed there my Wife is Cambodia and was 1 year old when her country went in to this Hell she was 8 years old when the Vietnam took the country back and things were not much better 1990 United Nations brought freedom 1991 very clever you said nothing about who in charge now I wonder why Simon

Yes and it’s usually countries where western nations have got involved with the politics appointed certain people then when it hits the fan they pull out. The Belgians did the same in Rwanda left hundreds of thousands of innocent Africans to be slaughtered. Have you seen the movie or read the book “Shake Hands with the Devil” very good movie it’s about a Canadian U.N peace keeper who was stationed in Rwanda and while he was there it all fell into civil war with Idi Amin commanding his rag tag army in killing & taping a tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children. He stayed behind with the U.N to try and save lives but it was hopeless. His one memory was the Belgian forces running onto their Hercules transport planes leaving everything behind just so they could get out of there and watching them fly off into the sunset back to Europe without a care in the world about the fate of those left behind. The guys name is Romeo Delare I thwink. There’s also a book he wrote Shake Hands with the Devil. He said shaking hands with militia leaders who’d butchered women and children with machetes was like doing it with the Devil, hence the name of the book and movie..

The Kmher Rouge were just utterly insane. Not just with their killing but also with them antagonizing Vietnam. Vietnam has over 10 times the population of Cambodia and had just won a war so it had a massive army of veteran soldiers with proven equipment and led by experienced and battle hardened commanders. It's no surprise that when they invaded they crushed the Kmher Rouge easily.

I feel bad for the people of Cambodia and find it rediculous that many of Khmer Rouge members were allowed to live out their days peacefully without any punishment for their crimes against humanity.

The many apologists of Pol Pot kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdNmY6uQzcy4pX0.html

@@theawesomeman9821 I think the reasoning was that the sheer scale of the horror and death made it difficult to punish everyone involved. Additionally, even after the regime was ousted, they continued to fight a guerrilla war for another 2 decades before Pol Pot finally died. Finally, I think the people were too tired and traumatised to seek retribution, and had no desire to relive the events even in the pursuit of justice. How can you even appropriately punish such things without just becoming like those who committed them? They stopped the cycle of violence before it could begin again, and I think that while it seems completely unfair and unjust that the perpetrators and collaborators will never be truly punished, I think true justice for the victims means ensuring that their families can live on without ever having to experience such atrocities ever again, even if that means turning the other cheek.

@@BambiTrout I get your reasoning

yeah, the movie was watered down quite a bit in order to make it palatable to western audiences. Wouldn't do to have half the audience in the movie theater choking on their own vomit halfway through the move after all.

It's Sihanouk's fault.

Prince Norodom Sihanouk went exile to China and North Korea and he encouraged Cambodians to fight the new regime (Khmer Republic) and backed the Khmer Rouge during the civil war and then he went back to Cambodia as the figurehead Head Of State after the Khmer Rouge victory. But their relations soured and he was placed under house arrest until the Vietnamese Army overthrew the Khmer Rouge in early 1979.

@@yourcryingroblox6614 Read this paper by Ben Kiernan to see if it's all Sihanouk's fault. This video never talked about the effect of the US bombing and the regime change conducted by the CIA. Roots of Genocide: New Evidence on the US Bombardment of Cambodia

They can definitely say the Khmer Rouge era lasted 3 years 8 months and 20 days.

I'm kinda curious why you would be asking them that. Don't they want to move forward, not be reminded of it every day? I'm not saying they want to forget it, but trivial questions about how long it went for just seem weird to me.

If they want to talk about something interesting related to wheelchair/disability, I'm often ok with that too, but not just using the wheelchair as the conversation, that just objectifies me & I feel like what's being said here is the same thing, just going up to random people over & over again & asking how long it lasted? I had an absolutely fascinating conversation some years ago with a man who lived through "the great leap forward", but it was about his personal experiences, in ways he was comfortable sharing, it wasn't just asking him something like "how long did it last". I can't remember how it came up in conversation now, it was a natural conversation evolution from something he said, not me sticky beaking. I had similar with a guy who lived through ww2 in a certain European country too, he was a teenager during the war & again, absolutely facinating how he was forced into the system. After the conversation, he came back to me & near begged me not to share what he had said with anyone else, cause he realised he had said things that some may judge him for & that he felt uncomfortable having shared, I assured him that absolutely I would NOT share anything he said & he didn't even need to say that, I could tell it was personal & for him to decide who to share with & who not to & I appreciated him choosing to share with me & absolutely respected his privacy. I feel like these sorts of experiences are missed by asking questions like "how long did it last" of everyone you meet, which is the impression I get as to what the OP is doing

Apparently, the map of human skulls isn't there anymore. Visiting Cambodia made me realise how easy it is to make humans be so brutal in the false claim they're doing it for the greater good.

Because many of these civil wars or genocides that take place in third world countries hardly ever get much media attention.....even in the US to this day, they harp on and on about Nazis and Hitler, despite the fact that the US was never directly affected by him at least not as much as Europe, almost every war movie from Hollywood is always about World War 2, every Call of Duty game either set in WW2 or in the middle East.....other conflicts like the Congo Wars, Liberian Civil War, Rwandan Genocide, the times the Soviet Union invaded other countries, Bosnian genocide, Lebanese Civil War, Korean War and this Cambodian Genocide get completely overlooked, because the West just seems to be overly obsessed with Hitler and even point to him as the most evil person in history when people like Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao,Charles Taylor, Idi Amin and King Leopold 2nd surpass even Hitler's genocide count....but somehow he gets first prize, the world hyper focuses on fascist Dictators but never on communist dictators for some odd reason....I feel like all examples should be paid attention to equally

@@cyborgchicken3502 TLDR. Europe has viewed itself as the center of the world over the last 500 years. If it didn't happen in Europe, then it is much less likely to be taught in basic western curriculum. Then again, Asian countries don't teach about certain western events. Where you grow up influences what you are taught

@@SuperCatacata that's a good point I guess as well

@@cyborgchicken3502 No, they don't surpass Hitler's count, except Mao. This isn't to downplay their crimes or deny that crimes elsewhere get ignored, but we don't improve things by downplaying what Hitler did. The way you speak, it's as if the Nazis were trivial, but they spent a lot of their effort into wiping out every Jew and Roma across Europe. The number of dead Soviet POWs was sickeningly high too, and it was high because they were seen as subhumans (Brits and Americans fared a lot better under the Nazis, as they were seen as good Aryan societies).

@@johnball320 Indeed, the Soviet Union suffered the highest death rate in WW2, but almost as many Chinese were killed by the Japanese invasion.

They don't take life for granted.

The killing field outside Phnom Penh was only a small one. The largest slaughter happened in the North West.

When you escape Hell, everyday is a good day.

I'm really not sure, a lot of people suffer with terrible PTSD after such things. But there are other things in life. You learn things for the first time when you go there and you only see this. But they have a life too with happy things, not just the things you just learned. It reminds me of a guy I met as a teenager, a couple years after my father had died. He asked me with disbelief how I could still be happy and laugh after that. Just because it's the only thing he knows about me doesn't mean it's the only thing that exists.

​@@andiward7068I wish this was true for everyone.

Keep in mind that before unified Vietnam fought against Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, only (the former) South Vietnam and its allies did that. The Khmer Rouge were trained and originally enabled by North Vietnam as an ally, and Hanoi had no objection to Pol Pot’s brutality until he began disobeying Hanoi’s marching orders, and making cross-border attacks against his benefactor. So if you give credit to “Vietnam” for putting down Pol Pot eventually, realize that it was only putting down the monster it helped to create in the first place. That the US switched to a position of support for the Khmer Rouge, is indeed to its shame.

are you pround to be an american.. do you know how many countries usa bombed/invaded since early 1900s

Tbf, there is only so much time in the curriculum, and history tends to focus on that of their own country. It would be impossible to cover every major event from every nation. What schools need to do better is to somehow instil a curiosity in the student, which allows them to explore the untaught parts.

I was taught this in school

It's more incredible how many times I see this sentiment under videos about things that were(at least in the 80's to '00 and then there's a gap in my experience until my oldest started school in the 10's) are taught in school.

Can't blame them, I give an example: your child is very good, supported by everyone and elected as a leader in a region, so do you think your child deserves it? But after being a leader, having power, your child becomes a bad person. Are you going to blame the people and organizations that have supported your child? What I don't like is that before Vietnam attacked the Khmer Rouge, they repeatedly reconciled and reported their crimes to the UN, but no country stopped Khmer Rouge. After Vietnam attacked Cambodia, the US, China, Thailand, and Singapore still supported the Khmer Rouge until 1993. I still can't understand these 4 countries.

@@intelligence1300 They hated Vietnam because USSR backed them. Just stupid politics. Would rather support your enemy's enemy regardless. Everyone saw us as a virus spread by USSR that time :).

Vietnam did come to wipe out khmer Rouge and even sent report of the atrocities to the UN but no one helped the Cambodians, heck the US and China even out right supported them, like wtf?. The moment Vietnam sent troops to fight the khmer then these war criminals goes ape shit and pained Vietnam as the bad guy.

You may read the book The River of Time by Jon Swain.

He's still alive. In fact, I've just seen his interview with al jazeera about Le Royal Hotel in Phnom Penh. He was crying....

Most countries rarely teach history that didn’t affect their own country. I’m German and we learned nothing about it either. Also nothing about Vietnam, Mao in China or Stalinism in the Soviet Union.

im malaysian, went to school between 1994 and 2004, and barely learned anything about this crazy thing that was happening to our neighbours

Probably because the US backed Khmer Rouge. "The United States (U.S.) voted for the Khmer Rouge and the Khmer Rouge-dominated Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea (CGDK) to retain Cambodia's United Nations (UN) seat until as late as 1993, long after the Khmer Rouge had been mostly deposed by Vietnam during the 1979 Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia and ruled just a small part of the country."

In 2013 about 60% of the population was under 35. At that time, I was one of them. It was brutal but it's strange to outsiders when I say it...really wasn't noticed? I didn't know any different. That things could be better, that there were other countries that's had entire decades where their population is perfectly protected and free. Even after coming to the US, I kept the same thought patterns. I.E. I had no idea I could visit the glittering towers of glass and steel and marble that I can see from the area the US does us in. I knew it was "downtown" but I didn't understand I could visit it any time I wanted. I didn't need permission from anyone. There's no passport or slips of paper I needed to show anyone. It wasn't until I was in my teens when I understood. Freedom was so strange.

pretty sure she is out the question. Even my country was at arm when Polpot started to launching raid and skirmish into our border. We just got a heck of our war with American and we try to rebuild. Now we have to deal with Pol pot and his Khmer rouge. Then we have to face the Chinese force coming from the North to support them. And people think us the Vietnamese fight for Communist when we just want independence in the first place. If everyone recognizes us as independence country after WW2 rather than let the France get back in the first none of this war is needed. I can felt why our Ho Chi Minh felt so heartbreaking all the time. One bad politics lead to a stupid that cause unneeded damage.

@@jordanhicks5131 I think it largely comes not necessarily from the tenets of communism itself but from the fact that most nations are not communist to begin with, so dictatorial leaders/groups have to rip their nations apart in order to reshape them into their image before they are ousted or killed. It's like if you want to rule a capitalist dictatorship, you mainly just have to put yourself at the top of an already existing hierarchy by removing the existing government from power. You don't necessarily have to change much unless you want to. On the other hand, if you want to become the dictatorial leader of a primitivist communist nation where EVERYONE is either a farmer or a soldier, you're going to have to burn the entire nation down and kill everyone who doesn't feel like becoming a farmer, because neither the infrastructure or the population are set up to allow for such a drastic change in just a matter of months. If the majority of people in a particular nation agreed with transitioning to communism and were willing to make the necessary changes to do so over an extended period of time through a democratic process, then you probably wouldn't see the same brutality and instability that you see in these violent revolutions. To make an analogy, it's like calmly asking a tour bus if they'd like to go to a different city with you and then calmly discussing the best route to take, vs slitting the bus drivers throat, pulling out an assault rifle and gunning down everyone in the front 4 rows, before spinning the bus around, causing a multi car pile-up, and driving STRAIGHT to a city which YOU chose with no input from anyone else. The issue isn't necessarily where you chose to go - the issue is how you decided to get there. (Although, to be clear, I don't think there are any redeeming qualities in Pol Pot's form of communism) communism Just to clarify, I'm not saying this to excuse the actions of communist nations, but I think it's very easy for people to treat it as a black and white, capitalist good, communist evil, and then apply that logic to come to the conclusion that socialised healthcare is just one step away from genocide. People focus on the label and ignore the methods and the outcomes, which not only results in people dismissing helpful policies because they're "communist", but it also often allows us to ignore atrocities committed by non-communist leaders - something that was all too common during the Cold War as the US propped up more and more violent dictatorial anti-communist regimes in order to fight communist ones, both democratic and non-democratic.
