The relationship between Britain and the colonies, how many colonies there are in Britain

Britain had many colonies at the beginning, almost all continents, but after all, its capabilities were limited, and with the resistance of the colonies, life was not easy. Moreover, there are many who have already gotten rid of his colonial rule. But objectively speaking, most of the British colonies have a governor-general system, and they also have their own governors, which are better than other countries, and there are indeed economic development that is okay, and social norms are also good.

Its colonies followed the institutional form of the authorities.

At that time, Britain was relatively powerful, with many colonies.

A colony is an area ruled by a suzerain, without political, economic, military, or diplomatic independence, and under the complete control of the overlord. Colonies in a broad sense also include semi-colonial countries and protectorate countries that have state apparatus such as administrative organs and armies, but are controlled by other countries in one or more aspects of economic, military, and diplomatic affairs, as well as mandated and trusteeship areas, as well as "overseas territories", "dependent territories", and "overseas provinces" set up by colonial countries in these areas.

Britain adopted an "indirect rule" approach, seeking to make its colonies politically and economically self-reliant. In areas designated as direct colonies of the Crown, the original tribal, village and other administrative institutions were also retained. and appoint local people as sub-locals**.

The local language and culture are also preserved and taught. It has been argued that compared with the French and Portuguese regimes, the British method of governance was undoubtedly more conducive to maintaining long-term control over the colonies and making them willing to maintain political and economic ties with Britain after independence.
