Why did the Hutus in Rwanda hold a deep hatred for the Tutsis?

Before Rwanda’s independence, a Tutsi-led monarchy ruled over a largely Hutu population, and colonial policies reinforced divisions between the groups. This history contributed to resentment among some Hutus, though it does not mean all Hutus felt hatred or that the history justifies violence. The best answer is that Tutsis were a minority who had historically ruled over the Hutus.
