Thesis: Rwanda has had a rough history and the Genocide that has                                      
                       happened in Rwanda is a testament to that. The Genocide in Rwanda 
                       has not received nearly as much recognition as it should have and more 
                       attention should paid to events like this in order to shape the future 
                       into a more peaceful setting.

                       I. The Genocide in Rwanda was one of the largest Genocides in history.
                           A. An estimated 800,000 people were killed within a period of 100 days
                           B. Before the genocide started many people among the groups in Rwanda had               
                                already been killed.
                           C. Rwanda was devastated by the genocide, entire families were wiped out.
                      II. The genocide was the result of tension built up over many years that finally 
                           reached it's breaking point.
                           A. The president at the time, a Hutu was killed by a group of Tutsis, creating an 
                                outrage.
                           B. The tense relations between the groups in Rwanda were well known and an                
                                outbreak like this could have easily been foreshadowed.
                    III. There was a large lack of attention paid to the genocide and most people and                    
                           countries turned a blind eye.
                           A. The United Nations withdrew from Rwanda when 10 soldiers were killed.
                           B. Reporters and the U.N were calling the genocide a “civil war”, not wanting to              
                               call it a genocide and raise concern.
                           C. After only a small amount of what would make up the total deaths, reporters
                               and the U.N pushed Rwanda to the side and moved on to other things.
