Europeans ruled their overseas territories primarily through colonial administration, often establishing a direct or indirect governance system that imposed their laws and systems on local populations. They utilized military force to maintain control and suppress resistance, while also implementing economic exploitation, extracting resources and labor for their benefit. Additionally, cultural assimilation efforts, such as missionary work and education, sought to integrate local populations into European ways of life. This approach often led to significant social, economic, and cultural disruptions in the colonies.
