Empire's Control

The empire was able to concurr a piece of land and rule it as their own colony as long as they proved that they were able to control that certain area. The empire would then ruled that country or region internally and be in complete control of everything that goes on in that colony. An example of such colony is Somaliland which was controlled by the French. The problem with colonies is that the people have no rights and lose their cultural background since they are forced into the parent countries ways. This caused more major wars and revolts in Africa.
