Rhodes, an imperialist, businessman, and politician, dominated southern Africa in the late 19th century and was largely responsible for the conquest of large tracts of land. He established the De Beers diamond company, which up until recently dominated the world market.
The purpose of Cecil Rhodes' letter Confessions of Faith is to defend the continuation of colonialism. The author, in particular, makes the case that members of the British Empire are entitled to govern over certain parts of the world. He believed that this nation's dominance may be useful in averting conflict.
Some consider Rhodes to be the pinnacle of colonialism since he thought the British were a better race. In the 1890s, Rhodes and his British South Africa Company established the southern African nation that would later become modern-day Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The complete question is:
Cecil Rhodes was a successful British imperialist in Africa. This excerpt is adapted from his position on imperialism.
"I contend that we [Britons] are the finest race in the world, and the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race.... It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most human, most honorable race the world possesses."
