Kigeri IV Rwabugiri was the ruler of the Kingdom of Rwanda from 1853 to 1895. He was a Tutsi with the birth name Sezisoni. He was the first King in Rwanda's history to come into contact with Europeans. He established an army equipped with guns he obtained from Germans and prohibited most foreigners especially Arabs from entering his kingdom. Rwabugiri held authority in 1853–1895. By the end of Rwabugiri's rule, Rwanda was divided into a standardized structure of provinces, districts, hills and neighborhoods administered by a hierarchy of chiefs predominantly Tutsi at the higher levels and with a greater degree of mutual participation by Hutus. He defended the current borders of the Rwanda kingdom in late 19th century, He was a warrior King and is regarded as Rwanda's most powerful king. Some Rwandans see him as the last true King of Rwanda due to the tragic assassination of his successor son Rutarindwa and coup by his stepmother Kanjogera who installed her son Musinga.〔Alex Kagame〕 By the beginning of the 20th century, Rwanda was a unified state with a centralized military structure. == Bibliography == * Léon Delmas.
