These were some of the consequences that occurred when colonies became protectorates.
- When colonized territories became protectorates, the former colonist nation continued to have a major influence on the protectorate.
- Protectorates were authorized to have their own form of government under the approval of the former colonist nation.
- Protectorates continued to receive some kind of relative support in exchange for the exploitation of raw materials and natural resources.
- After the infamous "Scramble for Africa," many European nations stopped having colonies.
- They implemented the concept of the protectorate to give nations relative "independence" from the European monarchies.
- However, once a protectorate, the territory started to have some political turmoil and social instability.
- The economy also suffered major consequences.
- One of the best examples was the British protectorates such as Nigeria, Sierra Leona, Gambia, Uganda, or Kenya.
I conclude that although territories were not under the direct control of European colonies, protectorates spent difficulties to became a nation because of the political and economic influence of European superpowers.
