Question

According to the passage which of the following best describes Rhodes point of view of British imperialism

Answer 1

In order to understand the point of view that described Rhodes ideals we need to know that Cecil Rhodes' project was "The British dominance” from El Cairo (Egypt) to Cape Town (South Africa), but in a different way.

He was the first distinguished British statesman whose imperialism was that of Race and not that of Empire. Rhode’s perspective was based on his statement about British were the first race in the world, and that the more of the world that they inhabited it was for the human race. even every acre added to their territory meant the birth of more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into existence.

Answer 2

That which describes Cecil Rhodes point of view of British imperialism was through his guiding principles throughout his life which underpinned almost all of his actions. Cecil Rhodes had a firm belief that the Englishman was the most significant human specimen in the world and further denoted that the Englishman rule would serve all. Rhodes was the ultimate imperialist who believed in the glory of the British Empire and the superiority of the Englishman and British Rule. He believed that this was his God-given responsibility to expand the Empire not only for the good of the British Empire, but also for the ultimate good of all peoples over whom the British empire would rule. When he was 24 years old, he shared this vision with his colleagues in a tiny shack in a mining town in Kimberley.
