Contested settlement colonies were when a significant number of settlers took up permanent
residence. They tended to develop thier own government independent of the mother country.
It also formed it's own cultural and political identity. Politically, white people dominated the
native ones.However, the native population grew rather than declined. Natives maintained control over thier lives, although thier political control was rather low. Eventually, the natives were able to contest the white control over the colony, both the parent country and the settlers.
Examples of contested settlement colonies include Algeria and Southern Rhodesia, both were in Africa.
