Before gaining independence in 1962, Rwanda was a Belgian colony. The Belgians initially governed through the existing Tutsi monarchy, which exacerbated ethnic divisions between the Tutsi and Hutu populations. The colonial administration implemented policies that favored Tutsis, leading to increased tensions and conflict that persisted even after independence. Rwanda's independence was marked by significant political upheaval and ethnic strife.
