Medieval Rwanda
Rwanda was inhabited by Hutu
farmers. In the late 15th century Tutsi cattle breeders entered the territory
& conquered
the Hutus. The Hutus were forced into surfdom as the Tutsi established a monarchy. In 1899
Germans
arrived in Rwanda & declared it a protectorate. Following WWI Belgium was given a
League of Nations mandate over
Rwanada.
