Countries that employed direct control over their colonies include France and Belgium, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. France implemented a policy of assimilation, aiming to integrate colonies into French culture and governance. Belgium, especially in the Congo, exercised brutal direct administration with little regard for local customs or governance. This approach contrasted with indirect control used by other colonial powers, like Britain, which often relied on local rulers to maintain order.
Europeans used paternalism as a direct form of control of the colonies. They provided for the colonial peoples' needs but did not give them full rights or self determination.
The colonizers used the resources of their colonies to grow their own economies.
There are no more Portuguese colonies. Two countries that used to be Portuguese colonies are East Timor, where Portuguese shares official language status with the native Tetum; and Macau, where Portuguese shares official language status with Chinese.

Europeans used various methods to control their colonies, two of which were direct rule and indirect rule. Direct rule involved the replacement of local leaders with European officials, allowing for direct governance and imposition of European laws and customs. Indirect rule, on the other hand, retained local rulers in power but under European supervision, allowing for some degree of local autonomy while still ensuring that European interests were prioritized. Both methods aimed to establish and maintain control over colonized regions while minimizing resistance.
