Diesel Generator Question

Regarding a 3 phase 208 Vac brushless diesel generator:

Could someone please explain why a diesel engine will bog down when you apply an electrical load to the generator. What specifically causes the engine to work harder? Thanks!

A generator converts mechanical power to electrical power.
In order to get electrical power out, it's necessary to put mechanical power in.
