I want to know the answer to the following question:
By what means did the British govern Tuvalu?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Ellice Islands were administered as British protectorate by a Resident Commissioner from 1892 to 1916 as part of the British Western Pacific Territories (BWPT), and then as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony from 1916 to 1974.". Is that enough to answer the question?
