Protectorate

the main focus will regard one major theme experienced under British colonial rule. This paragraph will explicitly discuss the key political and administrative arrangement through which colonial authority was maintained. The key component in the case of colonial Nigeria is indirect rule. In 1860, the British annexed Lagos as a Crown Colony. As a result, the process of expansion was in movement, which birthed the British protectorate “Nigeria” (Cookey, 1979). In 1900, the Niger Coast Protectorate, an area on the Niger Delta where palm oil was mass produced, and various territories that encompassed the Royal Niger Company were united. This event formed the Southern Protectorate; where as the other territories formed the Northern Protectorate. It was not until January 1, 1914, that the British Empire united the coastal colony of Lagos with the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria (Seidler, 2011). As a result, the combination of both protectorates created the Colonial Protectorate of Nigeria. It is directly after the creation of the Colonial Protectorate of Nigeria where we see the introduction of indirect rule. It is with this colonial rationale that we see the implications of colonial arrangements towards education. Under Lord Lugard, titled governor general in charge of new administration, the system of indirect rule was enacted. Indirect rule, the key political arrangement that maintained colonial rule, closely resembles that of what is described by Mahmood Mamdani.…

The French Third Republic is the term used to denote the system of government adopted in France from 1870, when the Second French Empire collapsed, until 1940, when France's defeat by Nazi Germany in World War II led to the formation of the so-called Vichy government in France.

starting first with Lagos in 1861 (Chika et.al, 2014). By 1914, the Colony of Lagos and the Protectorates of Southern and Northern Nigeria had systematically become consolidated into a contiguous geo-political entity christened Nigeria. Pierce (2005) opined that the British colonialists adopted a policy of indirect rule, which had earlier been successfully rehearsed in the Northern Protectorate. Indirect rule involved the use of influential and resourceful members of the various communities, who…

For example, Great Britain used imperialism in the form of a protectorate over Niger River Delta. Their leaders in society were left in control; however they were expected to listen to Britain’s authority members. Their resources and economy were collected, but their society was left alone to an extent. The advisors recommended decisions on trades or missionary activities. The protectorate costs less to run than a colony does, and also does not require a large military presence in the area. It…

The English Civil War was a turning point in English history and in the life of an ordinary country gentlemen, Oliver Cromwell. The English Civil War started in 1642 and ended in 1651. During those nine years, Oliver Cromwell rose in rank to the position of Protectorate because of his relationship with his capable troops and military skill in battle.

In 1884, Europe congregated and, in an imperialistic fashion, determined who received which section of Africa. In this meeting, called the Berlin Conference, Britain received the region that is currently known as Uganda. Beginning their colonization in 1890, the British East Africa Company sent Captain F.D. Lugard to sign a treaty with the leader of the largest kingdom in the region, Buganda. Following the treaty, Lugard grew Britain’s influence further by signing two more treaties with the…

Anti-Semitic race laws were assimilated into the Statute Books of France and its protectorates in 1940. During this time a French protectorate had been established in Tunisia. These anti-Semetic race laws were made possible by the defeat of “France led by the German puppet regime of Vichy.” In October of 1942, subsequent to the Allied victory at Alamein, the German forces were ordered to invade Tunisia. As a result of the German troops being garrisoned into Tunisia, 90,000 Jews were shepherd…
