In 1887, the Maldives became a British protectorate in an unusual arrangement where the British ensured the defense of the Maldives yet were not involved in any way with the governing of the country. This close relationship with the British ensured a period of peace and freedom from foreign interference until 1965 when the Maldives decided to become an independent country and have been ever since.
