The party was renamed the Indochinese Communist Party, ostensibly so it could include revolutionaries from Cambodia and Laos. Almost without exception, all of the earliest party members were Vietnamese. By the end of World War II, a handful of Cambodians had joined its ranks, but their influence on the Indochinese communist movement as well as their influence on developments within Cambodia was negligible.<a href="#cite_note-Tyner-55">[53]</a> <a href="/wiki/Viet_Minh" title="Viet Minh">Viet Minh</a> units occasionally made forays into Cambodian bases during their war against the French and in conjunction with the leftist government that ruled Thailand until 1947. The Viet Minh encouraged the formation of armed, left-wing <a href="/wiki/Khmer_Issarak" title="Khmer Issarak">Khmer Issarak</a> bands. On 17 April 1950, the first nationwide congress of the Khmer Issarak groups convened, and the <a href="/wiki/United_Issarak_Front" title="United Issarak Front">United Issarak Front</a> was established. Its leader was <a href="/wiki/Son_Ngoc_Minh" title="Son Ngoc Minh">Son Ngoc Minh</a>, and a third of its leadership consisted of members of the ICP. According to the historian David P.

According to a document issued after the reorganization, the Vietnam Workers' Party would continue to "supervise" the smaller Laotian and Cambodian movements. Most KPRP leaders and rank-and-file seem to have been either <a href="/wiki/Khmer_Krom" title="Khmer Krom">Khmer Krom</a> or ethnic Vietnamese living in Cambodia. According to Democratic Kampuchea's perspective of party history, the Viet Minh's failure to negotiate a political role for the KPRP at the 1954 Geneva Conference represented a betrayal of the Cambodian movement, which still controlled large areas of the countryside, and which commanded at least 5,000 armed men. Following the conference, about 1,000 members of the KPRP, including Son Ngoc Minh, made a Long March into <a href="/wiki/North_Vietnam" title="North Vietnam">North Vietnam</a>, where they remained in exile.<a href="#cite_note-Tyner-55">[53]</a> In late 1954, those who stayed in Cambodia founded a legal political party, the Pracheachon Party, which participated in the 1955 and the 1958 National Assembly elections.

In very general terms, these groups espoused divergent revolutionary lines.

Described by one source as a "determined, rather plodding organizer", Pol Pot failed to obtain a degree, but according to <a href="/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Society of Jesus">Jesuit</a> priest Father François Ponchaud he acquired a taste for the classics of <a href="/wiki/French_literature" title="French literature">French literature</a> as well as an interest in the writings of Karl Marx.<a href="#cite_note-Bartrop-60">[58]</a> Another member of the Paris student group was Ieng Sary, a Chinese-Khmer from South Vietnam.

Pol Pot and Hou Yuon may have been related to the royal family as an older sister of Pol Pot had been a concubine at the court of King <a href="/wiki/Sisowath_Monivong" title="Sisowath Monivong">Monivong</a>. Pol Pot and Ieng Sary married <a href="/wiki/Khieu_Ponnary" title="Khieu Ponnary">Khieu Ponnary</a> and Khieu Thirith, also known as <a href="/wiki/Ieng_Thirith" title="Ieng Thirith">Ieng Thirith</a>, purportedly relatives of Khieu Samphan. These two well-educated women also played a central role in the regime of Democratic Kampuchea.<a href="#cite_note-63">[61]</a> At some time between 1949 and 1951, Pol Pot and Ieng Sary joined the French Communist Party. In 1951, the two men went to <a href="/wiki/East_Berlin" title="East Berlin">East Berlin</a> to participate in a youth festival. This experience is considered to have been a turning point in their ideological development. Meeting with Khmers who were fighting with the Viet Minh (but subsequently judged them to be too subservient to the Vietnamese), they became convinced that only a tightly disciplined party organization and a readiness for armed struggle could achieve revolution. They transformed the Khmer Students Association (KSA), to which most of the 200 or so Khmer students in Paris belonged, into an organization for nationalist and leftist ideas.<a href="#cite_note-Frey-64">[62]</a> Inside the KSA and its successor organizations, there was a secret organization known as the Cercle Marxiste (Marxist circle). The organization was composed of cells of three to six members with most members knowing nothing about the overall structure of the organization. In 1952, Pol Pot, Hou Yuon, Ieng Sary and other leftists gained notoriety by sending an open letter to Sihanouk calling him the "strangler of infant democracy". A year later, the French authorities closed down the KSA, but Hou Yuon and Khieu Samphan helped to establish in 1956 a new group, the Khmer Students Union. Inside, the group was still run by the Cercle Marxiste.<a href="#cite_note-Frey-64">[62]</a> The doctoral dissertations which were written by Hou Yuon and Khieu Samphan express basic themes that would later become the cornerstones of the policy that was adopted by Democratic Kampuchea. The central role of the peasants in national development was espoused by Hou Yuon in his 1955 thesis, The Cambodian Peasants and Their Prospects for Modernization, which challenged the conventional view that <a href="/wiki/Urbanization" title="Urbanization">urbanization</a> and <a href="/wiki/Industrialisation" title="Industrialisation">industrialization</a> are necessary precursors of development.<a href="#cite_note-Becker_1998-34">[32]</a>: 63  The major argument in Khieu Samphan's 1959 thesis, Cambodia's Economy and Industrial Development, was that the country had to become self-reliant and end its economic dependency on the <a href="/wiki/Developed_country" title="Developed country">developed world</a>. In its general contours, Samphan's work reflected the influence of a branch of the <a href="/wiki/Dependency_theory" title="Dependency theory">dependency theory</a> school which blamed lack of development in the <a href="/wiki/Third_World" title="Third World">Third World</a> on the economic domination of the industrialized nations.<a href="#cite_note-Becker_1998-34">[32]</a>: 63  <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Path_to_power_and_reign">Path to power and reign</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khmer_Rouge&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Path to power and reign">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="KPRP_Second_Congress">KPRP Second Congress</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khmer_Rouge&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: KPRP Second Congress">edit</a>]</div> After returning to Cambodia in 1953, Pol Pot threw himself into party work. At first, he went to join with forces allied to the Viet Minh operating in the rural areas of <a href="/wiki/Kampong_Cham_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="Kampong Cham Province">Kampong Cham Province</a>. After the end of the war, he moved to Phnom Penh under Tou Samouth's "urban committee", where he became an important point of contact between above-ground parties of the left and the underground secret communist movement.<a href="#cite_note-Short-65">[63]</a> His comrades Ieng Sary and Hou Yuon became teachers at a new private high school, the Lycée Kambuboth, which Hou Yuon helped to establish. Khieu Samphan returned from Paris in 1959, taught as a member of the law faculty of the University of Phnom Penh, and started a left-wing French-language publication, L'Observateur. The paper soon acquired a reputation in Phnom Penh's small academic circle. The following year, the government closed the paper, and Sihanouk's police publicly humiliated Samphan by beating, undressing and photographing him in public; as Shawcross notes, "not the sort of humiliation that men forgive or forget".<a href="#cite_note-Shawcross_1979-66">[64]</a>: 92–100, 106–112  Yet the experience did not prevent Samphan from advocating cooperation with Sihanouk in order to promote a united front against United States activities in South Vietnam. Khieu Samphan, Hou Yuon and Hu Nim were forced to "work through the system" by joining the Sangkum and by accepting posts in the prince's government.<a href="#cite_note-Tyner-55">[53]</a> In late September 1960, twenty-one leaders of the KPRP held a secret congress in a vacant room of the Phnom Penh railroad station. This pivotal event remains shrouded in mystery because its outcome has become an object of contention and considerable historical rewriting between pro-Vietnamese and anti-Vietnamese Khmer communist factions.<a href="#cite_note-Tyner-55">[53]</a> The question of cooperation with, or resistance to, Sihanouk was thoroughly discussed. Tou Samouth, who advocated a policy of cooperation, was elected general secretary of the KPRP that was renamed the Workers' Party of Kampuchea (WPK). His ally <a href="/wiki/Nuon_Chea" title="Nuon Chea">Nuon Chea</a>, also known as Long Reth, became deputy general secretary, but Pol Pot and Ieng Sary were named to the Political Bureau to occupy the third and the fifth highest positions in the renamed party's hierarchy. The name change is significant. By calling itself a workers' party, the Cambodian movement claimed equal status with the Vietnam Workers' Party. The pro-Vietnamese regime of the People's Republic of Kampuchea implied in the 1980s that the September 1960 meeting was nothing more than the second congress of the KPRP.<a href="#cite_note-Tyner-55">[53]</a> On 20 July 1962, Tou Samouth was murdered by the Cambodian government.

Lower ranking members of the party and even the Vietnamese were not told of it and neither was the membership until many years later. The party leadership endorsed armed struggle against the government, then led by Sihanouk. In 1968, the Khmer Rouge was officially formed, and its forces launched a national insurgency across Cambodia. Though North Vietnam had not been informed of the decision, its forces provided shelter and weapons to the Khmer Rouge after the insurgency started. Vietnamese support for the insurgency made it impossible for the Cambodian military to effectively counter it. For the next two years, the insurgency grew as Sihanouk did very little to stop it.

One of the more thorough demographic studies, conducted by Patrick Heuveline, also attempts to separate out violent civilian deaths from a general increase in mortality caused by famine, disease, working conditions, or other indirect causes. He does so by grouping deaths within different age and sex brackets and analyzing treatment of these age and sex groups by the Khmer Rouge and violent regimes in general. His conclusion is that an average of 2.52 million people (range of 1.17–3.42 million) died as a result of regime actions between 1970 and 1979, with an average estimate of 1.4 million (range of 1.09–2.16 million) directly violent deaths.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Cambodia%3A+U.S.+bombing%2C+civil+war%2C+%26+Khmer+Rouge&rft.pub=World+Peace+Foundation&rft.date=2015-08-07&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.tufts.edu%2Fatrocityendings%2F2015%2F08%2F07%2Fcambodia-u-s-bombing-civil-war-khmer-rouge%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AKhmer+Rouge" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-87"><a href="#cite_ref-87">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBlanchard2009" class="citation news cs1">Blanchard, Ben (17 February 2009). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE51G33W20090217">"China defends its Khmer Rouge ties as trial opens"</a>.
