He perpetrated the <a href="/wiki/Cambodian_genocide" title="Cambodian genocide">Cambodian genocide</a> of which <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Number_of_deaths">from 1975 to 1979 between 1.5 and 2 million people died</a>, approximately a quarter of Cambodia's entire population. His iron rule ended when <a href="/wiki/Cambodian%E2%80%93Vietnamese_War" title="Cambodian–Vietnamese War">Vietnam invaded Cambodia</a> in December 1978, occupying the whole country in two weeks, ending the genocide, toppling the Khmer Rouge and <a href="/wiki/Kampuchean_United_Front_for_National_Salvation" title="Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation">establishing a new Cambodian government</a>. Born to a prosperous farmer in <a href="/wiki/Prek_Sbauv" title="Prek Sbauv">Prek Sbauv</a>, <a href="/wiki/French_Protectorate_of_Cambodia" class="mw-redirect" title="French Protectorate of Cambodia">French Cambodia</a>, Pol Pot was educated at some of Cambodia's most elite schools. Arriving in <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> in October 1949 on an academic scholarship, he later joined the <a href="/wiki/French_Communist_Party" title="French Communist Party">French Communist Party</a> in 1951 while studying at <a href="/wiki/EFREI" title="EFREI">École française de radioélectricité</a>. Returning to Cambodia in 1953, he involved himself in the <a href="/wiki/Viet_Minh#Khmer_Việt_Minh" title="Viet Minh">Khmer Viet Minh</a> organisation and its guerrilla war against King <a href="/wiki/Norodom_Sihanouk" title="Norodom Sihanouk">Norodom Sihanouk</a>'s newly independent government. Following the Khmer Viet Minh's 1954 retreat into <a href="/wiki/North_Vietnam" title="North Vietnam">North Vietnam</a>, Pol Pot returned to <a href="/wiki/Phnom_Penh" title="Phnom Penh">Phnom Penh</a>, working as a teacher while remaining a central member of Cambodia's <a href="/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism" title="Marxism–Leninism">Marxist–Leninist</a> movement. In 1959, he helped formalise the movement into the Kampuchean Labour Party, which was later renamed the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK). To avoid state repression, in 1962 he relocated to a jungle encampment and in 1963 became the CPK's leader. In 1968, he relaunched the <a href="/wiki/Cambodian_Civil_War" title="Cambodian Civil War">war</a> against Sihanouk's government. After <a href="/wiki/Lon_Nol" title="Lon Nol">Lon Nol</a> ousted Sihanouk in a <a href="/wiki/Cambodian_coup_of_1970" class="mw-redirect" title="Cambodian coup of 1970">1970 coup</a>, Pol Pot's forces sided with the deposed leader against <a href="/wiki/Khmer_Republic" title="Khmer Republic">the new government</a>, which was bolstered by the United States military. Aided by the <a href="/wiki/Viet_Cong" title="Viet Cong">Viet Cong</a> militia and <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Army_of_Vietnam" title="People's Army of Vietnam">North Vietnamese troops</a>, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge forces advanced and controlled all of Cambodia by 1975. Pol Pot transformed Cambodia into a one-party state that he called Democratic Kampuchea. Seeking to create an <a href="/wiki/Agrarian_socialist" class="mw-redirect" title="Agrarian socialist">agrarian socialist</a> society that he believed would evolve into a <a href="/wiki/Communist_society" title="Communist society">communist one</a>. <a href="/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion)" title="Year Zero (political notion)">Year Zero</a> was an idea put into practice by Pol Pot where he believed that all cultures and traditions must be <a href="/wiki/Cultural_genocide" title="Cultural genocide">completely destroyed</a> and a new revolutionary culture must replace it starting from scratch. “Year Zero" was announced by the Khmer Rouge on <a href="/wiki/1975_in_Cambodia" title="1975 in Cambodia">April 17, 1975</a>, where everything before that date must be purged. The Khmer Rouge emptied the cities, frogmarched Cambodians to <a href="/wiki/Labor_camp" title="Labor camp">labor camps</a> and relocated the urban population to <a href="/wiki/Collective_farming" title="Collective farming">collective farms</a>, where mass executions, abuse, torture, malnutrition and disease were rampant. At the <a href="/wiki/Killing_Fields" title="Killing Fields">Killing Fields</a> more than 1.3 million people were executed and buried in mass graves. Pursuing complete <a href="/wiki/Egalitarianism" title="Egalitarianism">egalitarianism</a>, money, religion, and private property were abolished and all citizens were forced to wear the same black clothing. Repeated <a href="/wiki/Purge" title="Purge">purges</a> of the CPK generated growing discontent; by 1978 Cambodian soldiers were mounting a rebellion in the east. After several years of violent incursions by the Khmer Rouge on Vietnamese territory resulting in massacres, <a href="/wiki/Cambodian%E2%80%93Vietnamese_War" title="Cambodian–Vietnamese War">Vietnam invaded Cambodia</a> in December 1978. By January 1979, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge had been toppled, the surviving Khmer Rouge members retreated to the scattered jungles near the Thai border, from where they continued to fight and raid, but were severely weakened and were hunted down by Vietnamese soldiers until their withdrawal in 1989. In declining health, Pol Pot stepped back from many of his roles in the movement. In 1998, the Khmer Rouge commander <a href="/wiki/Ta_Mok" title="Ta Mok">Ta Mok</a> placed Pol Pot under house arrest and shortly afterward, Pol Pot died. Taking power at the height of global communism's impact, Pol Pot proved to be divisive to the international communist movement. Many claimed that he deviated from orthodox Marxism–Leninism, but China and the US supported his government as a bulwark against <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet</a> influence in <a href="/wiki/Southeast_Asia" title="Southeast Asia">Southeast Asia</a>.

This period marked the heyday of the Communist party of France. The Khmer students' time in Paris coincided with the last years of Stalin's life and the apotheosis of the cult of personality surrounding him. The Communist party, one of the strongest in France, was considered the most Stalinist party outside eastern Europe. The years 1949-1953 also marked the victory of communism in China and the confrontation between Communist and anticommunist armies in the Korean War. To many young Khmer and millions of young people in France, communism seemed to be the wave of the future.'" </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEShort200469-60"><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEShort200469_60-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFShort2004">Short 2004</a>, p. 69. </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEChandler199234Short200467-61"><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChandler199234Short200467_61-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFChandler1992">Chandler 1992</a>, p. 34;
