Paper Summary:

The paper discusses Cambodia's ancient temples at Angkor and their remains today. The paper then focuses on the notorious Pol Pot Regime of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s and their systematic murder of millions of Cambodians. In addition, the paper looks at the strengths of Cambodia's main industries of tourism and textiles.

From the Paper:

"Cambodia may be most known for the horrendous Pol Pot Regime of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, a period when at least 1.7 million Cambodians were systematically executed by the Regime. However, Cambodia's history goes back centuries, to a land that supported bands of hunter-gatherers who eventually settled in areas and began farming the rich lands. The first major settlement known in the area is Angkor in about the ninth century. Many historians believe the society was closely modeled on Indian society (Tully 7-8). Residents traded goods with China, Europe, and India, and they wrote in Sanskrit and worshipped in the Hindu religion, but there were influences of Buddha, as well (Tully 12-13)."
