Lesotho

• Lesotho, country in Southern Africa.
• A scenic land of tall mountains and narrow valleys, Lesotho owes a long history of political autonomy to the mountains that surround it and protect it from encroachment.
• Since the Neolithic Period, the mountain kingdom was the domain of Khoisan-speaking hunter-gatherers.
• In the 19th century the Sotho, led by Moshoeshoe I, took control of the region.
• It remained independent until it became a British protectorate, one of three British High Commission Territories (the others being Bechuanaland [now Botswana] and Swaziland).
