What took place in rwanda that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people?

Between April and June 1994 a genocide took place in Rwanda, approximately 800,000 people were killed. The genocide was based on the ethnic differences between the Hutus and the Tutsis, these differences were hard to see since the spoke the same language, had the same traditions, and lived in the same places. It all started with the Belgian colonists which separated them, believing the Tutsis were superior and causing resentment amongst Hutus.

Hutus did a campaing against Tutsis making them responsible for everything that went wrong. This campaign was encouraged by the presidential guard and radio propaganda, forming an unofficial militia group called the Interahamwe. A genocide implies the attempt of destruction of an specific group of people, in other words, the Hutus wanted to erase the Tutsis from Earth.
