Colonial administrations

Colonial administrations refer to the system by which a country governs and controls a foreign territory, often established during the age of imperialism. These administrations typically involved appointing leaders from the colonizing country to oversee local governance, resources, and trade. The goals were often economic exploitation and cultural dominance. Colonial powers imposed their laws and systems, sometimes altering the existing social structures. This led to significant changes in the lives of the indigenous populations, often resulting in resistance, conflict, and lasting legacies that influence post-colonial societies today.
