Amar Singh I vs Ntare V of Burundi

Following his father Maharana Pratap's death, Amar Singh I continued the guerrilla warfare against the Mughals. He refused to submit to Akbar and later Jahangir, maintaining Mewar's independence for over a decade.

Amar Singh I fought the Mughal army under Jahangir at Dewar. Though initially successful, the prolonged conflict exhausted Mewar's resources, leading to eventual negotiations.

After years of conflict, Amar Singh I submitted to Mughal Emperor Jahangir. He agreed to send his son Karan Singh as a hostage and provide military service, ending Mewar's resistance. In return, Jahangir recognized Mewar's autonomy.

Ntare V was installed as mwami by the military regime that overthrew his father Mwambutsa IV. He was a figurehead monarch, with real power held by the military government led by Michel Micombero. His reign lasted only a few months before the monarchy was abolished.

Later in 1966, Prime Minister Michel Micombero declared Burundi a republic, deposing Ntare V and abolishing the monarchy. Ntare V went into exile in Uganda, where he lived under the protection of President Idi Amin, ending the centuries-old Ganwa dynasty.

Ntare V returned to Burundi in 1972 after negotiations with President Micombero, but was immediately placed under house arrest. During a Hutu uprising that year, he was killed by Tutsi soldiers, possibly on government orders. His death became a symbol of the ethnic violence that engulfed Burundi.
