Protector Vs Territory
Protector: a person or thing that protects, a guardian, or, specifically, a person in charge of a kingdom during a sovereign’s minority, incapacity, or absence (cuba)
Territory: In U.S. history, a territory is a region controlled by the United States that is not yet a state, governed by federal laws but with limited self-rule. (
A territory is a region under the control of a country but not fully part of it as a state, often governed by federal laws with some local authority (e.g., Puerto Rico, Guam).
A protectorate is a region that maintains its own government but is under the protection and partial control of a stronger country, which influences its policies, especially in defense and foreign affairs (e.g., the Philippines under U.S. rule before independence).
