During this period, were organized the first religious missions and exploratory expeditions to Africa. The British colonization in Africa was initiated by Cecil Rhodes, who was exploring the gold and diamond deposits that were found in the southern territories. In 1888, his company initiated the conquest of a territory that would be known as Rhodesia. Between 1888 and 1891, Kenya, Somalia, and Uganda would be incorporated into the British Empire. For many Europeans, the Africans were savages that should be civilized. So, the colonialism would allow the social, political and economic development of Africa, according to them.
