Why the Conflict
Begining of conflict...
When the kings, known as Mwamis, began to centralize their administrations, they distributed land among individuals rather than agreeing for it to be held by the hereditary chieftains, who were mainly Hutu. This show a social mobilitybetween the Tutsis and Hutus, on the basis of hierachial status. This system of patronage, i.e. work for access to land, left Hutus in a serf-like status, with Tutsis as their feudal masters.These meant there was a continuation of preferential treatment for Tutsis over Hutus, on the basis of ethic, rather than of economic, alignment.
Divided in to diffrent class
Tutsi-Hutu divide is by class and occupation. The Tutsi are the upper class and are mostly herdsmen. The Hutu are the lower class and for the most part live by farming. During the british colony,the Hutu are subject to the forced labour by the Europeans and,the Tutsi whosupervisethem at their tasks.
