The Tutsi people established a feudal kingdom in Rwanda in the 16th century. Since the middle of the 19th century, British, German, and Belgian forces have invaded one after another. In 1890 it became a protected area of ​​"German East Africa". Occupied by Belgium in 1916. According to the Versailles Peace Treaty in 1922, the League of Nations “entrusted” Lu to Belgium to rule and became part of the Belgian Luanda-Ulundi. In 1946 it became a UN trusteeship. Still ruled by Belgium. In 1960, Belgium agreed to "autonomy" in Lu. Independence was declared on July 1, 1962, and the country was named the Republic of Rwanda.

Rwanda is a backward agriculture and animal husbandry country, and has been designated by the United Nations as one of the least developed countries in the world. The agricultural and animal husbandry population accounts for 92% of the national population. In 2004, Rwanda's economic growth slowed down due to the continued high international oil prices and severe droughts in parts of the country. The Rwandan government has adopted a series of measures to vigorously strengthen the construction of infrastructure, attract internal and external cooperation, and attract investment, and the macro economy has maintained stable operation.
