The purpose of the Policy of Assimilation was to turn African natives into "French" men by educating them in the language and French culture and hence become French citizens or equals.
It was replaced with the Policy of Association. This policy is of the opposing idea that: the relationship between the conqueror and the conquered, of white and black peoples, should be one of ‘association’, not one of identity and merging; it emphasised cooperation between the rulers and the ruled.
