Tonga was governed as a British protectorate from 1900 until it gained full independence in 1970. While under British protection, Tonga retained a degree of autonomy, allowing its monarchy and traditional governance structures to continue. The relationship with Britain provided Tonga with some security and diplomatic support, but it was not a direct colonial rule. Tonga's independence marked the end of the protectorate arrangement, allowing it to establish its own sovereign government.
