In Cambodia, around 25% of the population died during the Khmer Rouge regime through execution, starvation, or preventable causes. The notorious S-21 prison and Killing Fields are reminders of Cambodia's dark past. Thailand suffered during the Japanese invasion of World War 2 as many perished building the Death Railway. In Vietnam, the long war between North and South involved American forces and still impacts the country through the effects of Agent Orange. Laos experienced nine years of heavy bombing that left huge parts devastated, and unexploded ordnance remains a daily threat today.

Globalization in the 19th century was shaped by imperialism. Industrialization allowed for cheap mass production while population growth created high demand for goods. After the Opium Wars opened China to foreign trade and Britain conquered India, these regions became large markets for European exports. Areas of Africa and the Pacific were also incorporated into the global trade system during this period. European conquests of these lands yielded natural resources and helped fuel trade between imperial powers and the United States.
Places of pain
This document discusses several places known for human suffering caused by disasters, warfare, or acts of terrorism. It mentions Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp where Jews were killed; Bangladesh, which suffers frequent natural disasters exacerbated by environmental degradation; Belfast, the site of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland; Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where atomic bombs killed millions to end WWII; Pearl Harbor, where a surprise Japanese attack drew the US into WWII; and the Ring of Fire, where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. It also lists the Tower of London, site of executions; the World Trade Center, which suffered terrorist attacks in 1993 and 2001; and Wounded Knee, where US soldiers killed Si
Convicts - First Fleet
Poverty and overcrowding in late 18th century English cities led to increased crime. The government responded by passing tougher laws, but this overwhelmed the prisons which became severely overcrowded. To address this, some prisoners were kept in decommissioned naval ships known as "hulks" which were anchored in rivers and harbors. Conditions on the hulks were squalid, with prisoners suffering from disease and malnutrition in the crowded and unsanitary environments. In 1787, the British government began transporting convicts to Australia in an effort to reduce overcrowding in the prisons and hulks of England. The First Fleet consisted of 11 ships carrying over 1,000 convicts to establish a

Vancouver Case Study
Vancouver is a coastal city in western Canada located in British Columbia. It was named after British explorer George Vancouver and was originally inhabited by Douglas fir forests. Logging and sawmills established the city's initial economy in the 1800s. Vancouver has since grown to become a major port and center for trade between Asia, Eastern Canada, and Europe. It is a culturally and ethnically diverse city that was home to the 2010 Winter Olympics and is known for its film festival, art gallery, and hockey team.
Highwaymen
Highway robbery in England rose in the late 1600s due to highwaymen being admired as bold men confronting victims face-to-face, as well as lonely roads radiating from London providing opportunities for robbery. Highwaymen often worked alone or in small gangs, targeting coaches and mail carriers. Their decline in the early 1800s corresponded with efforts to deter them like mass hangings at places like Thornton Heath, which was known as a haunt for highwaymen and footpads due to its isolation.
Excerpt From The Peoples Gallery
The document summarizes events in Derry, Northern Ireland in August 1969 known as the Battle of the Bogside.

British troops were eventually sent in to separate opposing sides, but nationalist residents declared victory while their situation remained precarious.

Into to anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans, human behavior, and societies in both past and present. It seeks to understand the diversity of humans and how and why they differ physically and culturally. There are four main fields of anthropology: biological anthropology, which studies human populations and evolution using an evolutionary framework; archaeology, which seeks to reconstruct past human cultures; cultural anthropology/ethnography, which aims to understand cultural variation across societies; and linguistic anthropology, which examines human language and communication and how it relates to culture.
