Swaziland became a British Protectorate in 1907 following the Boer War of 1899-1902; previously it had been ruled jointly by the UK and the South African Republic. The country became independent in September 1968. Repeated South African requests that the territory be handed over to them had been refused by the British, who administered Swaziland (like Botswana and Lesotho) as a 'High Commission Territory' - one of three established by a 1910 Act of Parliament.

According to tradition, the people of the present Swazi nation migrated south before the 16th century to what is now Mozambique. Following a series of conflicts with people living in the area of modern Maputo, the Swazis settled in northern Zululand in about 1750.
