Formerly known as Urundi, Burundi formed a feudal kingdom in the 16th century. Since the middle of the 19th century, the forces of Britain, Germany and Belgium invaded. The long-ruled monarchy, which was conquered by Germany in 1890, listed it as the territory of German East Africa and fell under the control of the Belgian army in 1916. After World War I, the League of Nations assigned the then merged Ruanda-Urundi to Belgium, which supported the local royal family to rule the region indirectly. Until the end of the second World War, Rwanda-Oolong became part of the United Nations trust territory, entrusted to Belgium, separated from Rwanda in 1959 and formally became independent as the Kingdom of Burundi on 1 July 1962. Burundi regained a brief monarchy when it first became independent, but in 1966, the prime minister of military origin ousted the original prince (not long after he usurped the throne), established the Republic of Burundi, and began to enter the period of military dictatorship. There are two major ethnic groups in Burundi, and only about 15% of the Tutsi have been in charge of the country since the 16th century.

Just four months after taking office, Melchior Ndadaye (Melchior Ndadaye), Burundi's first ever Hutu head of state, was also the first democratically elected president.
