The Rwandan Genocide occurred in 1994, lasting approximately 100 days from April to July. It resulted in the mass murder of an estimated 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu. The genocide was fueled by ethnic tensions between the Hutu majority and Tutsi minority, exacerbated by political instability and propaganda. The international community largely failed to intervene. The aftermath led to significant social and political changes in Rwanda, with efforts toward reconciliation and rebuilding the nation.
