There were Self-Governing colonies, colonies with representative councils (controlled some of their own legislative issues), colonies with nominated councils (mostly governor-appointed councils), and colonies ruled directly by a governor.

There were also Protectorates, mandates, and Dominions controlled by European nations in Africa.
