Which of the following policies was replaced by the French policy of a association?

The French policy of assimilation was replaced by the policy of association. The policy of assimilation was introduced by the French in their colonies with the aim of making the colonies more French by imposing the French language, culture, and institutions on the colonies. However, this policy was met with resistance from the colonies who felt their own culture and identity was being suppressed. In response, the French introduced the policy of association which recognized the distinct cultures and institutions of the colonies and allowed for greater self-rule and autonomy while still maintaining ties to France.
