We definitely didn't have political will or governance. Its all in the hands of the British.
As far for total assimilation, I think many countries in the world were conquered without total assimilation.
Because if you are arguing conquered = total assimilation, I think you can argue that British technically never conquered anyone. Even the Indians retained their identities.
Yet India were clearly under the British empire.
That's the thing: The English don't use the word "conquered". They avoid using it. They believe in some form of parent-child relationship between them and the colonized countries. All commonwealth countries were under the British Empire, but we were not conquered. We were colonised.As far for total assimilation, I think many countries in the world were conquered without total assimilation.
