Answer - C - Both Cambodia and Rwanda experienced violence due to genocide in the 1970s and 1990s respectfully.

Key Takeaway: The dictator Pol Pot led the Khmer Rouge in the systematic murder of more than two million people in Cambodia during the mid-1970s. Similarly, more than one million people were murdered in Rwanda in 1994, in systematic violence directed toward ethnic Tutsis. Note that although AIDS did kill huge numbers of people in Africa in the 1990s, it was not yet a worldwide epidemic in the 1970s.
