Taking power at the height of Marxism–Leninism's global impact, Pol Pot proved to be divisive to the international communist movement. In 1998, the Khmer Rouge commander Ta Mok placed Pol Pot under house arrest and shortly afterward, Pol Pot died. In declining health, Pol Pot stepped back from many of his roles in the movement.
