Decolonization
• Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources
• Colony: The small country, when run by a large country
• Decolonization: The large country no longer wants the small country and stops running it, allows the people to run it themselves

Imperialism• In the 1600’s Belgium
took control of Rwanda
![Page 40: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• The Belgians decided that the Tutsis were the rulers of Rwanda
• Tutsis were the minority of the population
• When kings distributed the land, they gave it the to Tutsis who charged Hutus to live and work on the land
![Page 41: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hutu Tutsi Darker skin Shorter Wider noses Majority of

Identification• The Belgians:– Issued passcards to Rwandans – Gave preferential treatment to Tutsis (“with the long nose”)
• Hutu’s had “blunt nose”
![Page 43: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Decolonization
• Rwanda gains its independence from Belgium in 1961
![Page 44: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Beginning of a Social Revolution
• Hutus begin to form a nationalist party (Parmahutu) to fight for their rights in 1959
• Began killings of Tutsi (20,000 the first year)
• 200,000 Tutsi refugees flee border
![Page 45: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Rwandan Civil War
• Conflict lasting from 1990-1993• Between the government of President Habyarimana (Hutu)
and the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (Tutsi group in other country)– Tutsis were trying to take back the power in Rwanda– Peace agreements were signed, but Habyarimana (Hutu
President) will not step down
Habyarimana

The Catalyst
• On April 6, 1994,the airplane carrying Rwandan President Habyarimana and the Hutu president of Burundi was shot down as it prepared to land in Kigali
• Both presidents died when the plane crashed. • Responsibility for the attack is disputed• In spite of disagreements about the identities of its
perpetrators, the attack on the plane is to many observers the catalyst for the genocide
![Page 47: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
United Nations
• The United Nations had officers in Rwanda, but they were not allowed to use force to stop the violence
• They tried to get Tutsi’s out of the country
![Page 48: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Foreign Response
• All other nations:– France– US– Great Britain– Canada
• Sent airplanes to get anyone from their countries out– Tourists– Reporters– Aid workers
• Then they let the genocide begin
![Page 49: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The Beginnings of Genocide• National radio urged people to stay in their homes• The government-funded-Hutu-station RTLM broadcast vitriolic attacks against Tutsis and anyone who protected them• A special “code” was announced on the radio when
the killings were to begin– Cut down the tall trees
![Page 50: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Genocide
• This was a genocide– The deliberate and systematic destruction, in
whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
![Page 51: Decolonization. Imperialism: A large country takes over a small country, and takes its natural resources Colony: The small country, when run by a large](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a8a232/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Killings• Killed in their villages or in towns, often by their neighbors
and fellow villagers• Militia members typically murdered their victims by hacking
them with machetes• The victims were often hiding in churches and school
buildings, where Hutu’s massacred them• Ordinary citizens were called on by local officials and
government-sponsored radio to kill their neighbors and those who refused to kill were often killed themselves
• Everyone killed so they weren’t killed themselves:– Mayors– Priests– EVERYONE
