" A protectorate is defined as a state, however it is under the protection of another country in exchange for something else. The state may have something to offer a larger country, in order for such an agreement to work. A colony is defined as a territory which is governed by another country. There is no sovereignty for a colony, it is under the direct rule of another country. While the two may seem similar, there are significant differences which make a protectorate and colony different."Eaglehawk » Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:51 pm
there was never a union between 2 states, 1960 somali independence was a reunification of somali territories
if there was a a legal state then it was italian somaliland because it was member of the united nations and under trusteeship.
somaliland in post british was classfied legaly a noting more then "somali territory" it was never under trusteship or a member of united nations
even under the british colonialism somaliland was never a state but it was revered as " british somaliland Protectorate" now that classification is difrenent from that of a protected state.
somaliland like italian somaliland never made the transition from trusteeship to fully statehood and a member of united nations
A protectorate, in the British Empire, is a territory which is not formally annexed but in which, by treaty, grant or other lawful means, the Crown has power and jurisdiction
A protectorate differs from a "protected state". A protected state is a territory under a ruler which enjoys Her Majesty's protection, over whose foreign affairs she exercises control, but in respect of whose internal affairs she does not exercise jurisdiction
Khedivate of Egypt=protected state under the british
british somaliland=protectorate territory under the british
Run along you faqash bastard , italian somaliland was a protectorate at first , and then as a colony of Italy when they added your territory to Italian East Africa essentially putting you under the same roof as other east Africans , not even somali's as the capital of Italian East Africa was Addis Ababa meaning you were ruled by ethiopians under the leadership of Italians.
Then the British kicked the italians out, and then the British handed ownership of you bums to the U.N. don't make it seem like the U.N. wanted you there. If Italy wasn't on the side of Hitler you would have stayed Italian Colony. They had to take you off their hands.
