How did the outsiders win control of the region?

The outsiders gained control of the region through a combination of military force, strategic alliances, and exploiting local divisions. They often used superior technology and tactics to overpower local populations and established governance structures that favored their interests. Additionally, they capitalized on existing rivalries and conflicts among local groups, which weakened resistance and facilitated their dominance. Over time, these methods allowed them to consolidate power and maintain control over the region.
