Denmark is a good example of a nation state because the danish ethnicity closely corresponds to denmarks land territory. Most of them speak the same language and nearly all of Danish speakers live in Denmark; Sense of unity.

"Hutus" were people who farmed crops, while "Tutsis" were people who tended livestock. Most Rwandans were Hutus. Gradually, these class divisions became seen as ethnic designations.
Because cattle were more valuable than crops, the minority Tutsis became the local elite. By the time Belgium took over the land in 1917 from Germany (who took it in 1884), an ethnic Tutsi elite had been the ruling monarchy for quite some time.
Germany and Belgian rule made the dividing lines between the groups sharper. This "divide and conquer" strategy meant supporting the Tutsi monarchy and requiring that all local chiefs be Tutsis, turning the Tutsis into symbols of colonial rule for the Hutu majority.
Post-independence, the resentment created by colonial divide-and-conquer bred violence. Seeing as Hutus were a large majority, they handily won the country's first elections in 1961, and the regime that followed was Hutu nationalist. Intermittent violence between Hutus and Tutsis became a feature of post-independent Rwandan

All the farms and agriculture that roamed the country were either burned or destroyed. Since the population decreased over 70%, there were no workers to start a reconstruction of their country. As of today, Rwanda is still dealing with rebels and other countries that are mad at them. It also opened the worlds eyes to the current events that are happening behind the scenes that many didn't even know was occurring until it was over.
