Cecil John Rhodes played a pivotal role in the colonization of Zimbabwe, then known as Southern Rhodesia, through a series of strategic actions. He founded the British South Africa Company in 1889, which obtained a royal charter allowing it to administer and exploit territories in Southern Africa. Rhodes negotiated treaties with local leaders, often under duress or through manipulation, to gain control over land and resources. He also organized military expeditions against indigenous populations, leading to the establishment of British rule and the subsequent exploitation of Zimbabwe's resources.
