Historical event effect on my country

Cambodia is one of the oldest countries in South East Asia. This nation passed numerous historical events. Long time ago, this country became a powerful nation in the region that is known as Angkor time. But around thirty eight years ago, this country had a dark period that people called Pol Pot regime.

To begin with, the government of Pol Pot regime forced people to move from the city to the countryside. Most people compelled to work on the farm strictly. They could not do other business beside this career. The government did not allow people to eat food fully. One more point, people were also obliged to make the water system through their energy as well. There were not any machines for helping people to work. Citizens needed to extend their power to exchange food. They normally ate only two times per day. It was really a hard work for them to work on the farm especially for people who came from the city. They never grew the crop when they live in the town. They just did their business such as selling products, work in the office, civil servant and so on.

In addition to impose the people to work on the farm, the government of Pol Pot regime killed many people during those days. There were around two million people died in that regime. Citizens who have high education were the first priority to kill. Secondly, people who came from the city were also the sign to eliminate too. People lived with hopeless in their mind. Every day, many people were killed with a small or no mistake. People did not allow discussing in group of five people at all. They needed to work silently, otherwise they would be killed. They could not also complain to work that the government provided them to do as well. Every thing prepared by the government, they did not to rise up their ideas.

From this, I can say that Pol Pot regime has had a major effect on my country. Old people include my parents still remember that bad time in their mind. They are still afraid of that regime in their mind. That event seems to be passed recently for them.
