Evaluate the main features of British rule in Tanganyika.

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the main features of British rule in Tanganyika, weighing up the significance, or otherwise, of those factors. Candidates may offer a chronological approach that identifies the evolution of British rule in Tanganyika, from it being a British mandate, through its existence as a UN trust territory under British control, to the last years of British influence prior to independence. In this vein, candidates may suggest that British rule was shaped by specific governors, prevailing attitudes and/or international events such as the Second World War. Alternatively, a thematic approach may be adopted, through which candidates may evaluate the use of, for example, indirect rule and the efficacy of efforts (where they existed) to engage Africans in rule at a local, regional and eventually national level.
