Out of a
1970 population of
probably near 7,100,0001
Cambodia probably lost slightly less than 4,000,000 people
to war, rebellion, man-made famine, genocide, politicide,
and mass murder. The vast majority, almost 3,300,000 men,
women, and children (including 35,000 foreigners), were
murdered within the years 1970 to 1980 by successive
governments and guerrilla groups. Most of these, a likely
near 2,400,000, were murdered by the communist Khmer Rouge. |

some 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Cambodians died unnatural deaths
from starvation, overwork, torture and execution [all
