Pol Pot
Pol Pot (, ; ; 19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998, born Saloth Sar; ) was a Cambodian politician and revolutionary who served as the Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1976 to 1979. Ideologically a Marxist-Leninist and Khmer nationalist, he led the Khmer Rouge group from 1963 until 1997. From 1963 to 1981, he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Born to a prosperous farmer in Prek Sbauv village, Pol Pot was raised largely by an aunt in Phnom Penh, allowing him an education at some of Cambodia's best schools. In the 1940s he moved to Paris, France, where he joined the French Communist Party and adopted Marxism-Leninism, particularly as it was presented in the writings of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.
Vietnamese Pot-bellied
Vietnamese Pot-bellied is the exonym for the Lon I () or I pig, an endangered traditional Vietnamese breed of small domestic pig. The I is uniformly black and has short legs and a low-hanging belly, from which the name derives; in pregnant sows, the belly may drag on the ground. The I is reared for meat. It is slow-growing, but the meat has good flavour. The I was depicted in the traditional Đông Hồ paintings of Bắc Ninh province as a symbol of happiness, satiety and wealth. The I is a traditional Vietnamese breed. It is thought to have originated in Nam Định province of Vietnam, in the Red River Delta.
Vietnamese cuisine
Vietnamese cuisine encompasses the foods and beverages of Vietnam, and features a combination of five fundamental tastes (Vietnamese: "ngũ vị") in the overall meal. Each Vietnamese dish has a distinctive flavor which reflects one or more of these elements. Common ingredients include fish sauce, shrimp paste, soy sauce, rice, fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables. Vietnamese recipes use lemongrass, ginger, mint, Vietnamese mint, long coriander, Saigon cinnamon, bird's eye chili, lime, and Thai basil leaves. Traditional Vietnamese cooking is greatly admired for its fresh ingredients, minimal use of dairy and oil, complementary textures, and reliance on herbs and vegetables.
Cambodian–Vietnamese War
The Cambodian–Vietnamese War was an armed conflict between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and Democratic Kampuchea. The war began with isolated clashes along the land and maritime boundaries of Vietnam and Kampuchea between 1975 and 1977, occasionally involving division-sized military formations. On 25 December 1978, Vietnam launched a full-scale invasion of Kampuchea and subsequently occupied the country and removed the Khmer Rouge government from power. During the Vietnam War, Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge communists had formed an alliance to fight U.S.-backed regimes in their respective countries.
Military history of Cambodia
The earliest traces of armed and violent conflict on lands, that constitute modern Cambodia date to the Iron Age settlement of Phum Snay in north-western Cambodia. Sources on Funan - the earliest regional political entity that was an union of local principalities whose exact political structure and military organisation remain debated, are rare. More information is available for Funan's successor state - Chenla, which has been characterized as distinctly bellicose as it was forged through the military subjugation of Funan. Chenla's early aristocrats heralded authority by public display of their noble genealogies carved onto stone stelae all over Indochina.
Khmer Rouge
The Khmer Rouge (, , "Red Khmers"; "Khmer Kror-Horm") was the name given to Cambodian ("Khmer") communists ("rouge", French for red) and later the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea in Cambodia who infamously carried out the Cambodian genocide. The Khmer Rouge's army was slowly built up in the jungles of Eastern Cambodia during the late 1960s and was supported by the North Vietnamese army, the Viet Cong, and the Pathet Lao, with strong supports from the People's Republic of China; the latter had a huge influence on the Party later. The Khmer Rouge emerged victorious in the Cambodian Civil War when, in 1975, they captured the Cambodian capital, overthrew the corrupt military dictatorship of the Khmer Republic, and imposed Socialism.
People's Republic of Kampuchea
The People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK; , "Sathéaranakrâth Pracheameanit Kâmpŭchéa") was founded in Cambodia by the Salvation Front, a group of Cambodian communists dissatisfied with the Khmer Rouge, after the overthrow of Democratic Kampuchea, Pol Pot's government. Brought about by an invasion from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which routed the Khmer Rouge armies, it had Vietnam and the Soviet Union as its main allies. The PRK failed to secure United Nations endorsement due to the diplomatic intervention of the People's Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the ASEAN countries.
