Extended data:

Britain ruled the colonies differently from France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, the German Empire, Italy and Belgium. France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany and other countries adopted direct rule, tried their best to integrate the colony with the suzerain politically and economically, and vigorously instilled the culture and lifestyle of the suzerain.

In order to assimilate as many Africans as possible, or at least let the ruled have a close sense of identity with the ruled. The local social system and customs can hardly be preserved, and the local language is rarely used in the education system.

The main purpose of these policies is to make the educated class in colonial countries (usually the local upper-class wealthy class) feel that their destiny is closely related to the motherland and give up the indigenous way of life. This practice led to the division of the colonial people and often failed to maintain political stability after independence.
