About British protectorate

British protectorates were protectorates under the jurisdiction of the British government. Many territories that became British protectorates already had local rulers with whom the Crown negotiated through a treaty, acknowledging their status whilst simultaneously offering protection. British protectorates were therefore governed by indirect rule. In most cases, the local ruler, as well as the subjects of the ruler, were not British subjects, but rather British protected persons. British protected states represented a looser form of British suzerainty, where the local rulers retained absolute control over the states' internal affairs and the British exercised control over defence and foreign affairs.
