Background[]
Starting in the 1500s Burundi was ruled by a king called the mwani. The Mwani ruled and owned all the land of the country. Farmers would work the land and pay the king a tax or tribute. The king would provide protection. The first Europeans arrived in Burundi in 1856. At this time they did not stay. It wasn't until 1899 that Germany took control of Burundi. Later, in 1916 Belgium took over the territory. There were two major political parties in Burundi including the Union for National Progress (UPRONA) and the Christian Democratic Party (PDC).
Burundi became independent on July 1, 1962. At first it was a constitutional democracy let by King Mwambutsa IV. The country was very unstable, however, as military leaders struggled for power. The country continued to get worse and in the 1990s was plunged into a terrible civil war between two ethnic groups, the Hutus and the Tutsi. The civil war ended in 2006 with over 150,000 people killed.
