Lesotho and Swaziland (now known as Eswatini) are independent countries primarily due to their historical and cultural identities, which have allowed them to maintain distinct political structures. Both nations resisted colonial rule and negotiated their sovereignty in the 20th century, with Lesotho gaining independence from Britain in 1966 and Eswatini in 1968. Their geographical positioning as enclaved states within South Africa further contributed to their unique political status, allowing them to retain autonomy while navigating regional dynamics.
