The Cambodian Civil War was one of the most brutal and vicious events in history. It started with the political games of Prince Sihanouk during the Cold War. This political change led to the rise of Pol Pot and the birth of the Khmer Rouge communist group. Pol Pot's role and path to leadership are the source of the dark history under the Khmer Rouge. The end of the Khmer Rouge came when Vietnam invaded Cambodia, overthrew the Khmer Rouge government and installed a new government. Modern Cambodia thus began in the hands of Hun Sen who led the country into restoration and re-creation.
