The Rwanda genocide was a genocide committed on more than 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus who opposed the genocide. It ran from 7 April to 15 July 1994. Those responsible for this genocide are considered to have been mainly Hutus, led by the ultra-nationalist ruling party MRND, and Hutunist militia groups supported by leading government and military personnel.
The UN and the countries of the Western world have received harsh criticism for their actions during the genocide. The UN's presence in the country was minimal from the outset and as the violence in the country escalated and despite the UN being well aware of what was going on in the country, military personnel were sent back. The European soldiers sent there only had the task of bringing their countrymen out of the country and then retreating themselves.
Washington crossed the Delaware River twice in December 1776. Washington's great triumph against the Hessian forces at Trenton on December 26, 1776, is one of the best-known episodes of the Revolutionary War.
