How did the British overrule the rulers of a nation and colonized said nation?

Asking this for my 5-year-old niece. I, myself am 21 years old, don’t know how exactly they did it and am exceptionally bad at Humanities.

I don’t quite understand how the Britishers convinced/bewitched/overruled the rulers of a nation. From what I understand, they struck deals and what-not. Can you please explain a **bird’s eye view** of the entire situation so that I can explain it to my niece?

Usually protection from the other colonial powers. Other colonial powers were – according to the colonised – scary enough to warrant protection from a relatively benign (as far as colonised peoples were concerned) empire. This was the case in New Zealand where the British empire promised to protect Māori subjects from French colonists.
