Ông-thu N,
If you don't know better not to say, and what you are writing, it’s completely
wrong.

During the First Indochina War, when Vietnam and Cambodia allied against the
French, Vietnamese forces had made great use of Cambodian territory in
transporting weapons, supplies, and troops. This relationship lasted through
the Vietnam War, and even after the war, people from both countries commonly
crossed the border unhindered.Even before the Vietnam War had ended, the
relationship between the Khmer Rouge and Vietnam was strained. Clashes between
Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge forces began as early as 1974. The Khmer Rouge
demanded that the Mekong Delta area be returned to Cambodia , and that all
Vietnamese leave the area. The Vietnamese refused these demands since the
Mekong Delta had been Vietnamese territory for nearly three centuries. In
retaliation, thousands of Vietnamese were either executed or forced out of
Cambodia , and villages along the border were attacked. This led to further
escalation of the conflict and ultimately to the Vietnamese
invasion and occupation of Cambodia .
