JUSTIFICATION“I contend that we (British) are the first
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 (British) race, more of the best, the most human, most honourable race the world possesses.”
-Cecil Rhodes
