I’m not sure but mostlikey “ to be able to draw a red line from Cairo to Cape Town building a railway across the entire continent of Africa without leaving British territory. Or wanted a large empire to be controlled by local settlers and politicians rather than London.

Answer:

A railway/land in Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cecil Rhodes wanted to "draw a 'red line' from Cairo to Cape Town without ever leaving British territory." She wanted British influence to spread.
