Solution(By Examveda Team)

Botswana was formerly known as Bachuanaland. Before its independence in 1966, Botswana was a British protectorate known as Bechuanaland. It was also one of the poorest and least-developed states in the world. The country is named after its dominant ethnic group, the Tswana ("Bechuana" in older variant orthography).
