The Killing Fields in Cambodia By Ian Merlin Cambodia is located between Thai land and Vietnam

Before genocide Cambodia was a neutral country stuck in the middle of a war and used as the battlefield

During genocide Khmer Rogue ruled by overthrowing the government Happened over a span of four years Other countries didn’t help because we encouraged the killing Most people were killed by bombings, starvation, and executions.

After genocide About 2 million people died Survivors did their best to survive before they thought of trying to stop it; just like any human would do They have a better life now than they did before the war because they are free to live their lives out as they want.

Genocides &me Genocides have affected me because the original settlers killed many Native Americans to spread their territory. The most recent genocide that affected me is the holocaust or as known as world war 2 . It affected me because my grandfather made a missile guiding system which is still used today. I can do little to prevent a genocide, but I can at least make sure people are informed about what could happen. I don’t plan to make a difference, but if I were to make a difference I would start by watching for groups heading down similar paths to the one that lead to the genocide.
