Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The British attempted to apply indirect rulea strategy that deliberately used
local and native political institutions to carry out colonial administrationin all areas
but with very different levels of success. In the north, the British governed through the
Hausa emirs, who retained some political power of their own in exchange for accepting
British authority. As part of this bargain, the British agreed to limit the spread of
European culture in the northern region, closing the entire area to Christian missionaries
and severely limiting the possibility for local children to attend English-style schools. In
contrast, Christian missionaries and English schooling were permitted in the southern
region. Within several decades, much of the south's population was converted to
Christianity, and major investments in education were made across the southern
protectorate. Yet compared to the north, indirect rule worked less smoothly in the
south, particularly in the southeastern Ibo region, where the British encountered more
popular resistance and had difficulty finding a stable leadership through which to
govern.
