Final answer:

The statement is false. Belgium took control of Rwanda from Germany after World War I, not in 1952. Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Belgium to control of Rwanda from Germany in 1952' is false. It was after World War I, not in 1952, that Belgium took control of Rwanda from Germany. The region, which was part of German East Africa, was handed over to Belgium as a League of Nations mandate after Germany's defeat in World War I. This region, which combined Rwanda and Burundi, was known as Ruanda-Urundi. Belgium controlled the territory until both Rwanda and Burundi gained their independence in 1962.
