Colonial Administration

Colonial administration refers to the system of governing and managing territories that were colonized by foreign powers. During colonialism, countries like Britain, France, and Spain established control over regions in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. This involved enforcing laws, extracting resources, and imposing cultural practices. Colonial administrators, often appointed from the colonizing country, handled local affairs and maintained order. The relationship was typically exploitative, prioritizing the colonizer's interests over the local population's rights and needs. Colonial administration has had lasting impacts on the political, social, and economic structures of many nations today.
