Smaller in number, Tutsis conquered the Hutus, who agreed to raise crops for protection. Both groups lived as one, same language, intermarrying, and obeying a Tutsi king. Independence changed everything, Tutsis and Hutus fought to fill, and they had an ethnic fight. Tutsi rebels won control, and a million Hutus were fearful of revenge.
