Genocide in Rwanda SS7H1a: Explain how the European partitioning across Africa contributed to conflict, civil war, and artificial political boundaries.

Civil War Created by European Colonization In 1994 the Hutu majority organized and carried out a mass killing of the Tutsi minority in Rwanda. WHY??

1894 – Germany colonized Rwanda BACKGROUND HISTORY 1894 – Germany colonized Rwanda 1918 – After WW I, Belgium took over the colony.

BEFORE EUROPEANS Hutu ethnic group (traditionally farmers) made up the largest part of the population. Tutsi ethnic group (herdsmen from North Africa) also settled in the area. The two shared a language and culture living among each other peacefully. Tutsis were usually the landowners and the Hutu worked the land.

THEN COMES THE EUROPEANS Europeans chose the Tutsi to become the leading group because they were landowners, tall and more noble looking. The Tutsi began to act like upper-class (leading group) which make the Hutu feel like peasants.

EUROPEAN INFLUENCE Europeans has brought modern weapons and modern ways of waging war. Missionaries began to teach the Hutu to see themselves as oppressed and inspired them to revolt. By 1956, the Hutu gained power and took Tutsi land.

CIVIL WAR Many Tutsi went into exile and formed the RPF – Rwandan Patriotic Front. In 1990 civil war began between the Hutu and the Tutsi. A cease fire was achieved in 1993. There was a push for a multi party constitution but the Hutu leaders wanted NO Tutsi involvement.

RWANDA’S PRESIDENT KILLED 1994, President of Rwanda was killed when his plane was shot down. This triggered the “Final Solution” by the Hutu. Hutu citizens were told by radio and by mouth “it was their duty to wipe out the Tutsi ethnic group” Up to 1 million people were killed – Genocide.
