Te asymilation policy extended French revolutiary principles of equality and citizenship to thee colonies, at least ass in theory. In practice, whever, it created a tierd system in which a small elite of educate Africans could attain French citizenship while thee majority consistent subjects with limited rights. Thee policy consited those who adopte French langeage and cule, creating a class of intermediaries who served avers between thcolonii advolonii.

Senegal 's Four Communes (Saint- Louis, Dakar, Gorée, and Rufisque) became the most famous example of assumilation in Practice.
