Karl Marx is considered to be the founder of Communism and he is the co-author of the Communist Manifesto. Marx believed that Communism would only work if there was some sort of revolution, and reactionaries of the revolution were “dealt with”. Karl Marx

Korea Firm believers in freedom of choice, America feared the “Domino Effect” of Communism in Southeast Asia. America believed that if one country fell to Communism they would all fall to Communism.

Pol Pot declared "Year Zero" and began a radical program to create an idealized agrarian communist society He crushed social institutions such as banking and religion and emptied cities of their inhabitants Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge attempted genocide of the Cambodian people Cambodia

Intellectuals and anyone seen as standing in the way of the new social order were mercilessly killed Among the first evidence of the horror was a "killing field“ uncovered in 1980 The death toll: certainly more than a million perhaps two million Cambodia

The Khmer Rouge was ousted from power by a Vietnamese invasion in 1979 Cambodia

Afghanistan In 1979, The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan The United States supported native Afghan rebels and Middle Eastern supporters and was successful in supplying weapons to the rebels By 1989 the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan
