Belgium Colonization (1919-1962)[edit | edit source]

Formerly known as Ruanda-Urundi, the area was occupied by Belgium during World War I. After the war, a League of Nations mandate stated that Ruana-Urundi would remain under Belgium control as a Class B Mandate. The Mandate was formally dissolved in 1962, with the colony becoming the separate contries of Ruanda and Burundi. [2]
