Lesotho was a British protectorate from 1868 until it gained independence in 1966. During this period, it was ruled by a series of local kings under British oversight, with King Moshoeshoe II being one of the most notable rulers. The British administration controlled foreign affairs and defense, while allowing the Basotho traditional leadership to manage internal matters. Lesotho eventually became a fully independent kingdom within the Commonwealth of Nations.
