What does Pol Pot stand for?
Pol Pot was a brutal communist dictator who seized power in Cambodia (formerly known as Kampuchea) in 1975. he became prime minister of the “new communist government” with his legion known as the Khmer Rouge in 1976. he was a vicious ruler and implemented forced labor,caused famine(starvation),and executed between 1.5 million to 2 million people in the country. at that time this number was more than 20% of the population. I’m really not sure what his name “MEANS”, but his birth name is Saloth Sar.
