European countries could control a colony in two ways, either direct control or indirect control. Through indirect control, local government officials were used, and the colony had limited self-rule. The goal of indirect control was to develop future leaders. Through direct control, the country brought foreign officials in to rule. As a result, the colony had no self-rule. The goal of direct control was assimilation. Britain used indirect control with the colony of Nigeria, which functioned well.
