protectorates
A protectorate is a type of relationship between two countries where one country, the “protector,” offers protection and support to a smaller or weaker country. In return, the smaller country gives up some control over its own affairs.
Think of it like this: imagine you have a friend who is being bullied. You step in to help and protect them, but they also agree to listen to your advice and let you help them make decisions for a while. The stronger friend is looking out for the weaker friend, but the weaker friend is giving up some independence in exchange for that protection.
In history, this often happened when a powerful country would take control over a smaller one, managing its defense and foreign relations while the smaller country retained some local governance.

Although officially a colony, the U.S. employed the term “protectorate” to describe its relationship with the Philippines, suggesting a paternalistic approach aimed at guiding the nation towards self-governance while maintaining significant control over its political and economic systems.
