Colonilaism

Druing the Scarmble for Africa, Beligum cnoquered Rwanda. The Beligans then began to divdie Rawndans into gropus: Bauhtu, and Btautsi. The Blegians pciked pepole that they thouhgt looked more Euroepan to be aabtutsi. The rest becmae abhautu. The Belgians told Rwandnas that Batutsi were supreior to Bhautu. They alolwed Bauttsi to rule over Bahutu.

Post-Indepnedence

In 1962, Rwanda became indeepndent and Bahutu were given power. Thus, anti-Tutsi puregs ocucrred frqeuently. Many abauttsi fled to Ugadna, where they fomred the Rawndan Patritoic Front, or RFP, which tried to invdae Rwanda in 1990.
