Historical background
BURUNDI - KINGDOM OF BURUNDI - MWAMBUTSA IV
(1915-1966)
Burundi is surrounded by Zaire, Rwanda and Tanzania. The capital is Bujumbura. The Kingdom of Burundi made its appearance in the 15th century. Burundi became a German protectorate in 1903 and became part of German East Africa. Having become a Belgian mandate under the name of Ruanda-Urundi in 1920, Burundi obtained its independence on July 1, 1962 with the mwami (king) Mwambutsa IV. The latter was overthrown by a coup d'etat by the crown prince who became Ntaré V (July 8, 1966), himself overthrown by a military putsch on November 29, 1966. The Republic was proclaimed.
