Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge  wanted to go back to the way life used to be back then when people used to farm and were treated badly because of their social class. In order to make that happen the Khmer Rouge killed all the people who could stand up against him and left all the uneducated people to do what he wanted them to do like  be treated poorly,and treated like slaves from back then which was wrong. They also wanted to destroy every single modern technology, it was like starting the year 0 over again. Bringing the perpetrators to justice proved to be a difficult task. Almost three decades after the Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were driven out of Phnom Penh, the Cambodian government requested help from the United Nations in prosecuting its former leaders for crimes that were committed between 1975 and 1979.

The aim of the Khmer Rouge was to dismantle all that  Cambodia has worked for to back to “Year Zero,” where all citizens would participate in rural work projects, and any Western innovations would be removed.

Khmer Rouge believed that all Cambodians must be made to labor  farms and  anyone in opposition to this system must be eliminated.  Residents of entire cities were forcibly evacuated to the countryside.
