In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia, and in January 1976, Democratic Kampuchea was established.

You're referring to the 1978-79 invasion of Khmer-Rouge-governed "Democratic Kampuchea" by (the by-then unified) Vietnam, about which you're absolutely correct.

They were officially the “Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK)”.

There was also Cambodia/Kampuchea, with the latter name associated with the Khmer Rouge regime.

In Kampuchea, it wasn't a few dozen people.

Was the People's Republic of Kampuchea, which only lasted for 10 years, ever shown on globes during that period, or did most globes continue to label it as Cambodia?
