I'd like to meet:
WELCOME TO MY PAGE KHMER PEOPLES AROUND THE WORLD.....PEACE.THE REAL KHMER PEOPLES OF CAMBODIAN......THE POOR KHMER FARMER AND NEK SROK SRAI...YEAH BATTAMBONG THAT WHERE AM FROM, NOW LIVING IN AMERICA.THE GREATEST ARTFORM ANGKOR. CITY OF THE GOD, ANGKOR WAT, BUILT BY THE KING JAYARVARYMAN VII. THE LOST CITY OF KHMER EMPIRE.THE OVERTHROWN OF CAMBODIA.Saloth Sar was born in Prek Sbauv in what was then a part of French Indochina but which is now in the province of Kompong Thom, Cambodia (since 1925). In 1934 his parents sent him to Phnom Penh to be educated at Wat Botum Vaddei, a large Buddhist monastery. After a year there, he went to live with his brother and his brother's wife, and began attending the Ecole Miche. On his first attempt to pass the Certificat d'Etudes Primaires Complémentaires in 1941, he failed and was held back. He did not pass it until 1943. He also failed the entrance exam for Lycée Sisowath and so attended a junior middle school called Collège Preah Sihanouk at Kampong Cham in 1943. During his time there he was again a mediocre student, but enjoyed playing football and played the roneat (a bamboo xylophone). In 1947 he passed the end-of-year exams and was selected to attend Lycée Sisowath..In 1949, he won a scholarship to study radio engineering in Paris. During his studies, he became a communist and joined the French Communist Party. In 1953, he returned to Cambodia.At that time, a communist-led revolt was taking place against the French occupation of Indochina. The centre of this uprising was in Vietnam, but it also took place in Cambodia and Laos. Saloth Sar joined the Viet Minh, but found that they regarded only Vietnam of importance, not Laos or Cambodia. In 1954, the French left Indochina, but the Viet Minh also withdrew to North Vietnam, and King Norodom Sihanouk called elections. Sihanouk abdicated and formed a political party. Sihanouk swept away the communist opposition and gained all of the government seats.Saloth Sar fled Sihanouk's secret police and spent seven years in hiding, training recruits. In the late 1960s, Sihanouk's head of internal security, Lon Nol, took action against the revolutionaries, known as the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Saloth Sar started an armed uprising against the government, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC).Prior to 1970, the Communist Party of Kampuchea was an insignificant factor in Cambodian politics. However, in 1970, the pro-western General Lon Nol overthrew Sihanouk, because the latter was seen as supporting the Viet Cong and North Vietnam.In protest, Sihanouk threw his support to Saloth Sar's side. That same year, U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered a military incursion into Cambodia in order to destroy Viet Cong sanctuaries bordering on South Vietnam. Sihanouk's popularity, along with the U.S. incursion into Cambodia, drove many to Saloth Sar's side and soon Lon Nol's government controlled only the cities.It has been argued that the Khmer Rouge may not have come to power without the destabilization of the Vietnam War, particularly of the American bombing campaigns to "clear out the Vietnamese sanctuaries" in Cambodia. William Shawcross argued this point in his 1979 book Sideshow. Others claim that Congressional cut-offs in aid and bombing were more responsible for the communist victory.When the U.S. left Vietnam in 1973, the Viet Cong left Cambodia but the Khmer Rouge continued to fight with their backing. Unable to maintain any sort of control over the country, Lon Nol's government soon collapsed. On April 17, 1975, the Communist Party of Kampuchea took Phnom Penh and Lon Nol fled to the United States of America. Less than one month later, on May 12, 1975, Khmer Rouge naval forces operating in Cambodian territorial waters seized the U.S. merchant ship S.S. Mayaguez, the last American merchant ship to leave Vietnam, precipitating the Mayaguez Crisis. Saloth Sar changed his name to Pol Pot around this time, apparently to remain obscure.Norodom Sihanouk was returned to power in 1975, but soon found himself side-lined by his more radical Communist colleagues, who had little interest in his plans of restoring the monarchy.
