Colonial Administration and Transport

Colonial administration refers to the system of governance established by a country over its colonies. This involved managing political, economic, and social affairs to maintain control and extract resources. Transport in this context pertains to the infrastructure developed, such as roads, railways, and ports, facilitating the movement of goods, people, and military forces. Effective transport was crucial for connecting the colonies with the colonizing nation, ensuring efficient resource extraction and trade, and maintaining order. Together, these systems shaped colonial societies and economies, often impacting local cultures and environments.
