Cecil John Rhodes , a British mining magnate, dreamed of a continuous red line of British colonies stretching from Cape Town to Cairo.
In 1889, Rhodes used the Rudd Concession to obtain a royal mandate from Queen Victoria for his British South Africa Company (BSAC) to colonize and administer the area.
The story of the modern state began in the late 19th century:
In 1890, a group of white settlers guided by the BSAC marched north and established Fort Salisbury (now Harare). Following brutal clashes with both the Ndebele and Shona peoples in the 1890s, the BSAC solidified its rule over the region. 🚜 Growth of the Self-Governing Colony (1923–1963)
