Question

Which of the following is a description of the direct form of government that was found in colonial Africa?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Foreigners governed at all levels and no self-rule existed.

Explanation:

Direct form of government rule is a form of colonialism that involves the establishment of a centralized foreign authority within a territory, which is run by colonial officials.

Direct government is when an imperial or central power takes direct control over the legislature, executive and civil administration of an otherwise largely self-governing territory.

Example of direct rule is in Burma. The monarchy firmly opposed colonial rule. As a result, Great Britain abolished the monarchy and administered the country directly through its colonial government in India.
