British Colonial Forts

British colonial forts were military structures built by the British Empire during the period of colonization to protect their interests, enforce control, and secure trade routes in overseas territories. These forts served as strategic bases for soldiers, acted as symbols of authority, and helped prevent local uprisings or invasions. They often included walls, battlements, and facilities for soldiers and administrators. Situated in key locations such as coastlines and borders, these forts played a vital role in establishing and maintaining British influence across various regions around the world.
