Protectorate
A protectorate, in the context of international relations, is a state or dependent territory that has willingly given up its foreign policy and international identity to another state for defence, usually and normally to resist against aggression and other violations of law. It is a dependent territory that enjoys autonomy over most of its internal affairs, while still recognizing the suzerainty of a more powerful sovereign state without being a possession. In exchange, the protectorate usually accepts specified obligations depending on the terms of their arrangement. Usually protectorates are established de jure by a treaty. Under certain conditions—as with Egypt under British rule (1882–1914)—a state can also be labelled as a de facto protectorate or a veiled protectorate. Protectorates can also be a federation of multiple dependent states, such as with the Aden protectorate.
A protectorate is different from a colony as it has local rulers, is not directly possessed, and rarely experiences colonization by the suzerain state. A state that is under the protection of another state while retaining its International legal personality is called a "protected state", not a protectorate.
