European countries sought African assimilation primarily to exert control over their colonies and to promote European cultural, social, and political values. Assimilation was seen as a means to "civilize" African populations, aligning them more closely with European norms and practices, which facilitated governance and resource extraction. Additionally, it aimed to create a loyal colonial citizenry that would support European interests and maintain order within the colonies. This policy often disregarded and undermined indigenous cultures and identities.
