What were the cultural assimilation policies implemented by colonial powers?

The cultural assimilation policies implemented by colonial powers aimed to impose their own culture and values on the indigenous populations of the colonies. These policies included promoting the adoption of the colonizers' language, religion, education system, legal system, and social norms. Indigenous cultures and traditions were often suppressed or marginalized, and efforts were made to erase or diminish their cultural identity.
