a kingdom and by the 19th century it gained momentum that resulted
in an alliance with Germany and Belgium, two major powers in central Africa at
that time. WWI bursts and changes the map of Africa. At the end of the war, Germany
relinquished its holdings to Belgium, and in turn the later accepted the League
of Nations Mandate of 1916 to govern Rwanda and Burundi as the territory
Ruanda-Urundi. In 1962 however, the once-joined union gained independence from Belgium to
become Rwanda and its neighbor Burundi.
