What is a monarch's role in a protectorate, like French Indochina?

  • A governor under a foreign power

  • The head of state, but under foreign control

  • The head of the military

  • The head of the judiciary

Answer

A monarch's role in a protectorate, like French Indochina, is the head of state, but under foreign control. This means that the monarch is still the official leader of the country, but their power is limited by the foreign power that controls the protectorate. In the case of French Indochina, the French government had ultimate control over the country, and the monarch's role was largely ceremonial.
