Eswatini: History

Britain and the Boer Republic of Transvaal jointly rule Eswatini.

Eswatini becomes a British High Commission Territory.

Eswatini is granted formal independence within the British Commonwealth.

Eswatini is hit by a budget crisis described by the IMF as "critical" as its economic crisis worsens, with the government struggling to pay the salaries of public sector workers.

Eswatini is excluded from a program giving duty-free access to the U.S. market because of human rights concerns.
