!) They were happy when Vietnan invaded Cambodia under Pol Pot.
2) They were happy when Vietnan invaded Cambodia under the rule of Pol Pot.

Are the sentences grammatical and do they mean what they are supposed to mean?

Cambodia was being ruled by Pol Pot when it was invaded by Vietnam. They were happy about the invasion

If the sentences are fine, are 'under Pol Pot' and 'under the rule of Pol Pot' adjectival (modifying Cambodia) or adverbial?
