===The Cambodian Left:
The history of the communist movement in Cambodia can be divided into six phases: the emergence of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]] (ICP), whose members were almost exclusively Vietnamese, before [[World War II]]; the ten-year struggle for independence from the French, when a separate Cambodian communist party, the Kampuchean (or Khmer) [[People's Revolutionary Party]] (KPRP), was established under Vietnamese auspices; the period following the Second Party Congress of the KPRP in 1960, when Saloth Sar ([[Pol Pot]] after [[1976]]) and other future Khmer Rouge leaders gained control of its apparatus; the revolutionary struggle from the initiation of the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1967-68 to the fall of the Lon Nol government in April [[1975]]; the [[Democratic Kampuchea]] regime, from April 1975 to January [[1979]]; and the period following the Third Party Congress of the KPRP in January 1979, when Hanoi effectively assumed control over Cambodia's government and communist party.
