Khmer Rouge

Japanese: クメール・ルージュ(英語表記)Khmer Rouge
Khmer Rouge
It means "Red Khmer (people)" in French. It is a general term for the Cambodian left, from anti-French pro-Communist to Communist parties. In the narrow sense, it refers to the Cambodian Communist Party. The Khmer People's Party, which descended from the Viet Minh-affiliated Khmer resistance faction, joined the Sangkum (People's Socialist Community) formed in 1960 to form the Sangkum Left Faction, but was suppressed by Sihanouk, who led Sangkum, and went underground in 1967. When Sihanouk was dismissed in a coup by Lon Nol in 1970, the Kampucheans immediately joined forces with Sihanouk to form the Kampuchean National United Front, which launched a domestic struggle and entered the capital, Phnom Penh, in 1975.
