Diaspora In Southeast Asia, many Vietnamese people emigrated to France and later millions to the United States, Australia and Canada after the Cold War-related Vietnam War. Later, 30,000 French colons from Cambodia were displaced after being expelled by the Khmer Rouge regime under Pol Pot.[citation needed] A small, predominantly Muslim ethnic group, the Cham people long residing in Cambodia, were nearly eradicated.[citation needed] The mass exodus of Vietnamese people from Vietnam coined the term 'Boat people'.
