The following years saw intense fighting compounded by a sustained American bombing campaign against communist positions inside Cambodia, conditions that historians widely credit with fueling the growth of the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot. The war ended in April 1975 when Khmer Rouge forces captured the capital Phnom Penh, beginning the movement's subsequent and catastrophic rule over Cambodia.FactsCambodian Civil
