Aggressors may establish direct control over the fiscal system in seized territories, redirecting levies collected from the local population straight into their own treasury. Introducing new taxes, shifting the financial burden of imperial wars onto the shoulders of an Indigenous people, and artificially lowering the social status of local residents in order to subject them to maximum economic taxation allow the colonizer to systematically siphon off resources and exhaust the region's economy.
