Answer (2)

The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, with the fall of Saigon, leading to the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule. The Cambodian Genocide occurred from 1975 to 1979, leading to the deaths of around 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians under the Khmer Rouge. Its limited awareness today can be attributed to the overwhelming geopolitical context and inadequate historical documentation of the events. ;

The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, when North Vietnam captured Saigon, leading to reunification under communist rule. The Cambodian Genocide lasted from 1975 to 1979, resulting in millions of deaths due to the Khmer Rouge regime's brutal policies. Limited global awareness of the genocide can be attributed to historical distractions and lack of media attention during that time.
