Read this passage written by british imperialist cecil rhodes. “i contend that we are the first race in the world, and the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race… if there be a god, i think that what he would like me to do is to paint as much of the map of africa british red as possible.” according to this passage, which of the following best describes rhodes’s view of british imperialism? it is britain’s duty to send manufactured goods to africa. god is opposed to the colonization of africa. it is britain’s duty to spread european ways and customs around the world. the british should be embarrassed by their dreams of a colonial empire.

It is Britain’s duty to spread European ways and customs around the world.

Rhodes suggests God would want Great Britain to colonize Africa because they are the best race in the world.

Cecil Rhodes believed in the ideas of social Darwinism and racial hierarchy. Whites in particular Anglo-Saxons were viewed as being superior by the western world. This thinking coupled with Christian superiority made imperialism the will of God.

Rhodes believes that imperialism is necessary to preserve the human race and it is necessary for the world to struggle. He believes that it is the right of the British to imperialize as many countries as possible because the British are the "finest race in the world". He believes that the more "world they inhabit", the better it is for the human race because the British are the only good people on earth. (His opinion).
