The Khmer Rouge (/kəˌmɛər ˈruːʒ/, French: [kmɛʁ ʁuʒ]; Khmer: ខ្មែរក្រហម, Khmêkrâhâm [kʰmae krɑˈhɑːm]; "Red Khmers") is the name that was popularly given to members of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) and by extension to the regime through which the CPK ruled Cambodia between 1975 and 1979. The name was coined in the 1960s by Norodom Sihanouk to describe his country's heterogeneous, communist-led dissidents, with whom he allied after his 1970 overthrow.
