The Khmer Rouge (Khmer: Kmae Krahaam; French for "Red Khmer") was a Marxist–Leninist militant group in Cambodia. They took over Cambodia in 1975 and lost power in 1979. Under the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia became a totalitarian state. The Khmer Rouge committed the Cambodian genocide,[1] killing as many as 3,000,000 (​13 of the Cambodian population).[1]
