British colonial administration refers to the system of governance established by the British Empire in its overseas territories. This administration was characterized by a centralized authority, often led by a Governor appointed by the British government. The primary aim was to maintain control, extract resources, and promote British interests while implementing laws and policies that aligned with British values. Colonial administration varied across regions, with some areas experiencing direct rule, where British officials managed local affairs, while others had indirect rule, allowing local leaders to maintain some authority. This system often led to significant social, economic, and political changes in the colonized regions, impacting their development and relationships with the British Empire.
