    Major differences found between Rwanda and the Holocaust are evidenced in their reasoning, length of genocide, amount of deaths, how they both reacted to the public and their leadership. First, in the Holocaust the Nazi’s used Jews as the reason for Germany’s poverty so they decided to try and eliminate the Jewish population from Germany. In the Rwandan Genocide when the Tutsi’s were given power over Rwanda, the Hutu believed they were a more superior race so they started attack the Tutsi people. Killing methods varied from concentration camps in the Holocaust involving gas chambers and shootings versus firearms and machetes in the Rwandan Genocide. The Holocaust has a debatable timetable but it lasted roughly six years resulting in around…

    The world’s reaction to the Rwandan genocide in 1994 is widely considered as one of the biggest failures of humanity and the UN, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were lost over the course of the 100 day mass killing. The response has been described as” too little, too late” as an earlier intervention could have saved many more lives, which brings the question why did the world wait? Why did we fail all of these innocent people? The answer lies within the structure of our world’s political system and the different ideals and definitions of key concepts by different states.

    The Rwandan genocide occurred in 1944. The Belgians were the ones who initially created a strong divide between the Tutsi and the Hutu, the two African groups living in Rwanda. In the 1930s, Belgium, the current ruling power, defined specific physical characteristics to differentiate between the Tutsis and the Hutus. The Tutsis were perceived as the superior group in comparison to the Hutus, so the Belgians saw them as partners in enforcing Belgium law. In 1933, the Belgians mad identity cards that showed which ethnic group a person belonged to.…

    Rwanda is a small, densely populated state located in East Africa. Already under German rule, but above all during the Belgian colonial rule after World War I, Christian missionaries became active in the country.

The background to the Rwandan genocide is inseparable from the destructive legacy of first German, then Belgian and finally the French on the country’s inter-ethnic politics. Rwanda gained its independence from Belgium in 1961 after years of living in a society that promoted the Hutus as the colonial master’s preferred ruling elite.…
