Map of Rwanda

The Beginning of Colonization in Rwanda 1886: Germany invades and occupies  Rwanda  1916: Belgium occupies Rwanda 1926: Belgians introduce a system of ethnic identity cards differentiating Hutus from Tutsis purposefully/legally dividing the population Did the process of “Divide and Rule” take place quickly?

Rwanda

Rwandan ID card issued in the 1920s to differentiate Hutus from Tutsis

Differences Between Hutu & Tutsi? • The Rwandan population is mainly made up of two groups, the Hutu’s (85%) and the Tutsi’s (14%).  The Twa are 1% or less of the population.  • Most of the Rwandan population belong to the Hutu ethnic group, traditionally crop- growers. • Tutsis were typically cattle herdsmen and tended to be taller and have lighter skin than the Hutus.  (Their appearance made them favored by the Belgians.) •For over 600 years the two groups worked and traded together to the benefit of each other.   BELGIAN colonization of Rwanda disrupted this culture.   

Who did the Belgians put in power? To maintain control in colonial Rwanda the Belgians implemented a system called DIVIDE AND RULE.  According to the Belgians, Tutsis were closer to being "white," so the Tutsis were put into power to control the much larger Hutu population. Tutsis were put into government jobs and other positions of power. According to the Belgians, Hutus were stronger than the Tutsis but not as smart. Due to this belief the Hutus were forced to work as farmers or other jobs requiring manual labor.
