Beginning with that case, this volume examines the deposition and exile of indigenous monarchs by the British and French - with examples in India, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco - from the early nineteenth century down to the eve of decolonisation. It argues that removal of native sovereigns, and sometimes abolition of dynasties, provided a powerful strategy used by colonisers, though European overlords were seldom capable of quelling resistance in the conquered countries, or of effacing the memory of local monarchies and the legacies they left behind. 410 0$aStudies in imperialism. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAlgeria. 610 $aBritish authorities. 610 $aBritish colonisers. 610 $aEmperor Duy Tan. 610 $aEmperor Ham Nghi. 610 $aEmperor Thanh Thai. 610 $aFrench authorities. 610 $aFrench colonial removal. 610 $aIndian princely states. 610 $aKing Sri Vikrama Rajasinha. 610 $aMoroccan sultan. 610 $aQueen Ranavalona. 610 $aTunisia. 610 $acolonial monarchies. 610 $acolonising country. 610 $adecolonisation. 610 $aindigenous monarchs. 610 $alast Burmese king. 610 $apotentates. 610 $asub-Saharan Africa. 676 $a325.309041 700 $aAldrich$b Robert$f1954-$01499075 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796584203321 996 $aBanished potentates$93814078 997 $aUNINA
