Botswana, formerly known as Bechuanaland, was a protectorate of the British Empire from the late 19th century until its independence in 1966. During this period, it provided valuable resources such as cattle, which were significant for trade and agriculture. Additionally, Botswana's strategic location served as a buffer against potential expansion by other colonial powers in southern Africa. The country also contributed to the British Empire's political and administrative framework in the region.

The British, it was called Betchuanaland. Bechuanaland was never a colony as such, it was a "protectorate" of Britain. In a nutshell, the people of Bechuanaland requested British protection from the South African Boers, the British did not want the Boers or Rhodes, who at that stage was in Rhodesia, moving into Bechuanaland, so this was an arrangement that was beneficial to both the people of Bechuanaland and the British.
