Approximately how many people died during the Rwandan genocide?

C. 800,000.

The Rwandan genocide started when the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana was killed in 1994. This event increased the years-long tension between the Hutus and the Tutsis thanks to the Belgian colonization, which separated the Rwandans' ethnicity.

Officials, gangs, militias, politicians (mostly Hutus), all shared the same goal of achieving power by cleansing the Tutsi population. The Hutu regime slaughtered around 800,000 civilians, most of which were Tutsis.  

The killing was ended by the Rwandan Patriotic Front in July 1994 when Kigali was finally taken.
