I found this interesting, as prior to the Act of Union in 1801 I'm pretty sure Ireland seems like a protectorate, but I've never seen it referred to as such except in that one book, and the book suggests that's how other people at the time viewed it. As a result of this, I'm wondering if Ireland prior to the Act of Union could be classed as a protectorate, and, if it is, why it's not listed here? --<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Vdelgaff&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Vdelgaff (page does not exist)">Vdelgaff</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vdelgaff&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Vdelgaff (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:British_protectorate#c-Vdelgaff-2021-04-27T14:51:00.000Z-Should_Ireland_be_added_to_the_list_of_protectorates?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:51, 27 April 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Vdelgaff-2021-04-27T14:51:00.000Z-Should_Ireland_be_added_to_the_list_of_protectorates?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Vdelgaff-2021-04-27T14:51:00.000Z-Should_Ireland_be_added_to_the_list_of_protectorates?"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Afghanistan_Protectorate_State" data-mw-thread-id="h-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z"></span>Afghanistan Protectorate State<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:British_protectorate&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Afghanistan Protectorate State"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://src-h.slav.hokudai.ac.jp/rp/publications/no14/14-05_Toriya.pdf"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-199.82.243.102-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State"></span>[1]</a> Reference states: According to a large number of previous studies, Afghanistan was fixed as a buffer state between Russia and British India as a result of the war and the Gandamak Treaty, which was concluded between Amīr Ya‘qūb Khān and the British on 26 May 1879, substantially as proof of the surrender of the Afghan side.1 In this treaty, the Amīr of Kabul, a previous ruler of Afghanistan, not only ceded various territories but also handed over diplomatic rights to the British. <b>In short, Afghanistan was virtually a British protectorate until 1919.</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/199.82.243.102" title="Special:Contributions/199.82.243.102">199.82.243.102</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:199.82.243.102" title="User talk:199.82.243.102">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:British_protectorate#c-199.82.243.102-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-199.82.243.102-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-199.82.243.102-2021-09-18T19:03:00.000Z-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-199.82.243.102-2021-09-19T10:59:00.000Z-Afghanistan_Protectorate_State"></span>Multiple sources state that during the Treaty of Gandamak, the Emir of Afghanistan signed the British PROTECTORATE over Afghanistan.

Protected states v. protectorates The differences between protected states and protectorates, which comprised the informal part of the Indian Empire, are generally misunderstood. In theory, the main legal difference between a protected state and a protectorate was that, while both had signed over their defence and external affairs to the British Crown (represented in the Indian Empire by the Viceroy), only - (cut off scroll down) </p> <pre>3 Area </pre> <p>The British Indian Empire in the 1890s Square miles (approximates) </p> <pre> 1.

This distinction is not as clear-cut as it looks. First of all, ‘external affairs’ was an elastic term that could easily be used to encompass aspects of a protected state’s internal affairs, such as the activities of foreign residents and businesses. Secondly, the designations of ‘protected state’ and ‘protectorate’ are not reliable indicators of the degree of control the Crown exercised. Before 1937, for instance, the Crown generally had fewer treaty rights to intervene in, or control, the internal affairs of its pro- tectorates in South Arabia than it had for its protected states in Eastern Arabia, not more as one would expect. There are also countless instances of IPS officers intervening in a protected state or independent state’s internal affairs when they had no legal right to do so, and of not intervening in or controlling a protecto- rate’s internal affairs when they were legally entitled to do so. However the rulers of both protected states and protectorates remained sovereign: their flags still flew over their government buildings, government was still carried out by them or in their names, and their states maintained a distinct ‘inter- national personality’ in the eyes of international law (in contrast to states forming part of the British Empire, where the British monarch was the head of every state). Even when the Crown assumed temporary full control of a state during a ‘minority period’, it did so in trusteeship.27 In cases like this, the distinction was only a legal and psychological one, for in regard to the degree of control over internal affairs, there was often no real difference between a state under temporary British trusteeship and a British colony. The same can be said for ‘colonial protectorates’: protectorates over tribal territories where no recognised head of state existed. </pre> <p>Glen Balfour-Paul proposed another, closely related, difference between a protectorate and a protected state. He argued that the British Crown was empowered to make and enforce laws for the “peace, order, and good govern- ment” of its own subjects and dependants in the former, but not in the latter.28 However, even this distinction does not hold, for the Crown held this and </p><p>THE RAJ RECONSIDERED 53 other extra-territorial rights by treaty in both protectorates and protected states, and even in some independent states such as Persia and the Ottoman Empire, and in the ‘treaty ports’ of China.29 </p><p>6. Mapping the Indian Empire The official map of the Indian Empire enclosed in The Imperial Gazetteer of India and the annual India Office List shows British India in pink and British protectorates and protected states in yellow. For diplomatic and pragmatic reasons, this map never conformed to political reality. Ignoring its own defi- nition of the Indian Empire, the British Government maintained the fiction that some of its protected states bordering the territories of other empires did not form part of the Indian Empire and were only loosely connected to the British Empire. Thus, British-protected states like Afghanistan, which bordered the Russian Empire, were never coloured yellow on official maps of the Indian Empire, while Nepal and Bhutan, which bordered the Chinese dependency of Tibet, were coloured yellow for only ten years (1897 – 1906). Arabia, which bor- dered the Ottoman Empire, and British Somaliland, which bordered the Italian and French Empires, were not shown as a part of the Indian Empire and were usually left off the map altogether. Only the native states of India were consist- ently coloured yellow. This means that the Indian Empire was, in reality, much larger than most people realise. By the end of the 19th century, it was over a quarter larger than the British maintained, as Table 3 (overleaf) and Zones A and B show. </p><p><br/> Official British maps do not refer to Afghanistan as a protectorate. </p><p>2.

Their status was rarely advertised while it was in effect, it becoming clear only after it was lifted.[1] </p><p>We can clearly see by defacto definition and even on British Maps themselves, that Afghanistan was not a protectorate, and in fact a protected state. </p><p>Here are some other source opinions about protectorate v protected state: </p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://opil.ouplaw.com/view/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e1082">[10]</a> (from oxford) though I suggest just focusing on my main point. </p><p>“Both the term ‘protectorate’ and the term ‘protected State’ refer to a relatively powerful State’s promise to protect a weaker State from external aggression or internal disturbance, in return for which the protected entity yields certain powers to the protector. Typically, the legal basis for a regime of protection is a treaty by which the protecting State acquires full control over the external affairs of another State or territory, while the latter continues to have command over its internal affairs. “ </p><p>In CONCLUSION, the term between protectorate and protected state is misconcepted, even British maps do not recognize Afghanistan to be apart of the empire, only having it under their sphere as a Protected state, while they showed actual protectorates at the time, ie in oman, etc, as under their control. <a href="/wiki/User:Noorullah21" title="User:Noorullah21">Noorullah21</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Noorullah21" title="User talk:Noorullah21">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:British_protectorate#c-Noorullah21-2022-05-07T14:24:00.000Z-Protectorate_vs_Protected_State,_James_Onley_and_more." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:24, 7 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Noorullah21-2022-05-07T14:24:00.000Z-Protectorate_vs_Protected_State,_James_Onley_and_more."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Noorullah21-2022-05-07T14:24:00.000Z-Protectorate_vs_Protected_State,_James_Onley_and_more."></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate?-20231128204600"><span id="Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate?-20231128204600"></span>Should the Emirate of Transjordan be Considered a Protectorate?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate?-20231128204600"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:British_protectorate&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Should the Emirate of Transjordan be Considered a Protectorate?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-25galepley-20231128204600-Should_the_Emirate_of_Transjordan_be_Considered_a_Protectorate?"></span>The Wikipedia article of the Emirate of Transjordan (Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's predecessor state from 1921-1946) explicitly states that the emirate was a protectorate.
