Western powers governed their new colonial empires by either indirect or direct rule. Their chief goals were to exploit the natural resources of the lands and to open up markets for their own manufactured goods.
C. Colonial Regimes

Sometimes a colonial power could realize its goals by cooperating with local officials. Known as indirect rule. Local rulers were allowed to keep their authority and status in a new colonial setting. Was cheaper to use, not always possible.
Direct rule meant we had to replace local officials with western officials.

Many subject people resented being governed by western powers. At first, resistance came from the existing class. Sometimes it took the form of peasant revolts. Early resistance movements were overcome by western power. Eventually the force of nationalism came and the leaders came from westernize intellectuals in the cities. It was not until 1930’s though that these movements actually began to ask for national independence.
