Best Answer

United Nations trust territories were the successors of the remaining League of Nations mandates and came into being when the League of Nations ceased to exist in 1946. All of the trust territories were administered through the UN Trusteeship Council. The one territory not turned over was South-West Africa, which South Africa insisted remained under the League of Nations Mandate, and which eventually gained independence in 1990 as Namibia. The main objection was that the trust territory guidelines required that the lands be prepared for independence and majority rule.

Which two Commonwealth nations were never under the British rule?

Mozambique and Rwanda are members of the Commonwealth of Nations that had no previous colonial or constitutional links with the United Kingdom. Mozambique had been a Portuegese colony and Rwanda had been a Belgian colony. Most of Cameroon had been a French Mandate / Trust Territory but a small portion was a British Mandate /Trust Territory prior to independence. Namibia might also be considered in this regard. It was a German colony which became a Mandate of South Africa - not of the United Kingdom - after the Frist World War. It finally gained independence on 21 March 1990.
