Thailand, ASEAN and the Kampuchean problem from 1979 to 1986

Abstract

After such a long period, however, peace is still not at hand. Moreover,since the 1970s the country has faced three major events: US bombings that started in 1970 and culminated in 1973; the inhumane evacuation of towns and mass executions under the Pol Pot regime (1975-1978); and the war between the SRV and the. Kampuchean resistance groups since 1979. Show more
