How was the Rwanda massacre classified as a genocide?

-I know that the Rwanda Genocide was when the Tutsi people killed 800000 Hutu in 1994 but how is it classified as a genocide instead of a massacre or civil war?Civil War, massacre, and genocide. It was all 3 of those things. But Genocide is a word that gives you more horrific detail on what happened in Rwanda in 1994. And for ease of understanding, there was a Rwanda Civil War from 1990 to 1993, that ended in peace talks and and the United Nations Peacekeepers coming in. The Rwanda Genocide was 1994. I guess they could have called it the 2nd Rwanda Civil War...





Civil War - Is too sides fighting within a nation. However, as is the case with most wars, there are usually armies involved. As in our army fights your army. right from when the term was first used when Julius Cesar's Legions fought with Pompeius Magnus Legions. Sure, there can be civilian death, but how many army casualties do you here about in the Rwanda Genocide?



Massacre - Is indiscriminate killing. Sure this was indiscriminate killing of Hutu. but genocide gives you a little more information about what happened.
In genocide, a whole ethnicity is targeted - the hope is to drive them into extinction - in other words, genocide is a massacre.
Genocide is acting to kill an entire nation or ethnic group.
It wasn't. It should have, but it wasn't.
