They were called 'Judges'. (For details, see the book of Judges.) Everything was ok while Joshua and the men of his generation were alive:-
Jdg 2:6...Joshua died at the age of one hundred ten. He was buried on his land in Timnath-Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash. Even though Joshua was gone, the Israelites were faithful to the LORD during the lifetime of those men who had been leaders with Joshua and who had seen the wonderful things the LORD had done for Israel.
However, Israel then went on a cycle of disobedience, worshipping the gods of other nations, raids by those countries, always losing their battles, crying out to God, leaders [judges] raised up, enemies defeated, obedience while judge lived, peace, disobedience when judge died, then worshipping other gods again, etc and the whole cycle starts all over again.
Jdg 2:10 After a while the people of Joshua's generation died, and the next generation did not know the LORD or any of the things he had done for Israel.
Jdg 2:11 The LORD had brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they had worshiped him. But now the Israelites stopped worshiping the LORD and worshiped the idols of Baal and Astarte, as well as the idols of other gods from nearby nations. The LORD was so angry
Jdg 2:12 (SEE 2:11)
Jdg 2:13 (SEE 2:11)
Jdg 2:14 at the Israelites that he let other nations raid Israel and steal their crops and other possessions. Enemies were everywhere, and the LORD always let them [ie Israel's enemies] defeat Israel in battle. The LORD had warned Israel he would do this, and now the Israelites were miserable.
Jdg 2:15 (SEE 2:14)
Jdg 2:16 From time to time, the LORD would choose special leaders known as judges. These judges would lead the Israelites into battle and defeat the enemies that made raids on them.
Jdg 2:17 In years gone by, the Israelites had been faithful to the LORD, but now they were quick to be unfaithful and to refuse even to listen to these judges. The Israelites would disobey the LORD, and instead of worshiping him, they would worship other gods.
Jdg 2:18 When enemies made life miserable for the Israelites, the LORD would feel sorry for them. He would choose a judge and help that judge rescue Israel from its enemies. The LORD would be kind to Israel as long as that judge lived.
Jdg 2:19 But afterwards, the Israelites would become even more sinful than their ancestors had been. The Israelites were stubborn--they simply would not stop worshiping other gods or following the teachings of other religions.
Jdg 2:20 The LORD was angry with Israel and said: The Israelites have broken the agreement I made with their ancestors. They won't obey me,
Jdg 2:21 so I'll stop helping them defeat their enemies. Israel still had a lot of enemies when Joshua died,
Jdg 2:22 and I'm going to let those enemies stay. I'll use them to test Israel, because then I can find out if Israel will worship and obey me as their ancestors did.

During the times of the judges did the Israelites stay faithful to one true God?
No. During the times of the judges there were many cycles of backsliding, oppression, repentance and deliverance. God repeatedly raised up judges each time Israel began to take on the idolatrous practices of the people they failed to drive out of Canaan. Israel became oppressed by these Gentile nations when they repented and cried out to God, God delivered them through judges (military leaders) who over threw the oppressors.

Was Canaan located in the kingdom of Israel?
Wayne T. Pitard (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Before Israel) says that during the second millennium BCE, Canaan was the name often used for Palestine, an area west of the Jordan River, whose northern boundary fluctuated between southern and central Lebanon. Modern scholars generally use the term in referring to a wider region in Syria-Palestine where a substantial cultural continuum defined as Canaanite can be discerned. However, there never was one single nation of Canaan, rather a number of city-states with loose affiliations and shared interests.The Israelites appeared on the scene shortly before 1200, settling in the mountainous Canaanite hinterland, which had until this time been sparsely populated. Until recently, it was accepted that Israel expanded to take in many of the coastal Canaanite cities during the tenth century BCE. However, recent archaeological research and more accurate carbon-dating now appear to place the expansive period up to one hundred years later, during the reigns of Omri and Ahab, kings of Israel. After a further one hundred years, the northern kingdom of Israel was once again reduced to its former territory away from the coast, then in 722 BCE, Israel was destroyed forever. Meanwhile, the small inland kingdom of Judah continued in the southern hinterland.On this evidence, Israel occupied the less productive part of Canaan for several centuries, expanding briefly by conquest and then forced back into its core territory. As a whole, the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah never at any time occupied all the land of Canaan, so it would be more accurate to say that Israel was located within the land of Canaan.
