Civil war and Genocide
From 1970's to 1980's, there was long civil war in Cambodia. Especially the Cambodian genocide age (1975-79), many higher educated people such like teachers, doctors and monks has been killed, Cambodia lost more than 20% of that population, many books and Buddhist scriptures has been burned.
The Government forcibly relocated the urban population to the countryside to work on collective farms. Many farmers also were forced to move another village and did forced labor.
After that government collapsed, the civil war hasn't stopped. It was not easy way to reconstruct this country.
In 1993, finally, they did election and started to reconstruct. People is still under the fears of land mines, unexploded ordnance, drought, flood, epidemic disease and AIDS.
