assimilation
Assimilation policy is characterized by efforts to integrate minority groups into a dominant culture, often involving the suppression of the minority group's customs, language, and identity. This policy typically promotes the idea that adopting the dominant culture is essential for social acceptance and success. It can manifest through education systems, legal measures, and social pressures aimed at erasing cultural differences. Historically, assimilation policies have been criticized for fostering inequality and undermining cultural diversity.
The aboriginal Assimilation Policy focussed on assimilating Aborigines into white society, and expecting the Aborigines to embrace white beliefs and values. The Assimilation policy, which was introduced in the 1950s (and actively pursued by the Federal Minister for territories, Paul Hasluck, from 1951 onwards), forced Aborigines off the reserves where they at least were protected to some degree (this was the policy of protectionism), and into the cities where they had to adopt White Australia values to survive. It was expected that such integration would improve their way of life. However, the Assimilation Policy did not improve conditions for the Aborigines, and they were denied the most basic of rights - that of being accepted as Australian citizens unless they applied for a "certificate". Applying for a certificate meant denying one's aboriginal heritage and severing all ties with one's own indigenous community.
Yes, during his presidency, Ulysses S. Grant implemented the "Peace Policy," which aimed to improve relations with Native Americans. As part of this policy, he supported the idea of providing "brides for Indians," which involved encouraging intermarriage between Native Americans and European Americans to promote assimilation.

The government's policy of assimilation of the Native Americans was a failure because the government wanted to eliminate them. The government wanted the Native Americans to remain powerless.
The Australian assimilation policy was not a success because it did not respect the culture of the aborigines. There was a great deal of resistance to the policy and even those aborigines that agreed to be assimilated often faced discrimination and did not feel at home in the new culture.
The policy of integration allowed Aboriginal people to practice their culture and religion while living amongst people of other cultures and religions. Assimilation on the other hand was a policy to absorb Aboriginal people into white society.
France
The policy you are referring to is known as assimilation. It involves the dominant nation imposing its culture, language, and institutions on the colonies with the aim of erasing their distinctiveness and integrating them into the imperial system.
The French switched from the policy of assimilation to the policy of association primarily due to the challenges and failures of assimilation in their colonies. Assimilation aimed to impose French culture and values on colonized peoples, often leading to resistance and resentment. The policy of association, introduced in the early 20th century, recognized the distinct cultures of colonized societies while still maintaining French control, allowing for a more pragmatic and cooperative approach to governance. This shift was also influenced by changing global attitudes towards colonialism and the desire to stabilize colonial rule.
