Quarantine of British Rule

The Quarantine of British Rule refers to a period when Britain exercised strict control over its colonies to maintain dominance and manage conflicts. This involved enforcing policies that suppressed dissent, regulated economic activities, and maintained political stability. Essentially, Britain used various mechanisms—such as military power, administrative control, and legislation—to keep its colonies aligned with its interests, often limiting local autonomy. The term underscores how Britain prioritized its empire’s integrity and strategic interests, sometimes at the expense of local governance and freedom.
