When Cambodia was invaded by the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] in 1979, the government claimed that one Cambodian soldier was equal to 30 Vietnamese soldiers, so if they could amass two million soldiers from their population of eight million, it could wipe out all of Vietnam’s population (which was 3 times larger than Cambodia's) and still have six million people left. This arrogance lead to the Khmer Rouge being overthrown during the invasion and being replaced by the [[Cambodian People's Party]]. Though they were forced to retreat to Thailand, the Khmer Rouge continued fighting Vietnamese forces from there (mainly via the use of guerrilla warfare) until it largely lost power during the '90s and surrendered completely in 1999. | When Cambodia was invaded by the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] in 1979, the government claimed that one Cambodian soldier was equal to 30 Vietnamese soldiers, so if they could amass two million soldiers from their population of eight million, it could wipe out all of Vietnam’s population (which was 3 times larger than Cambodia's) and still have six million people left.
