Cecil Rhodes, born in 1853, played a major political and economic role in colonial South Africa. He was
a financier, statesman, and empire builder with a philosophy of mystical imperialism. A "Cape to Cairo" railroad that would "Paint the Map Red" was his dream for Africa, along with a reconciliation of the Boers and British under the British flag and a recovery of the American colonies for the British empire. As prime minister of the Colony of South Africa, he tried to achieve these dreams. Although successful in some regards, he ended up with many personal and political disappointments in his later years. Meanwhile, Rhodes actively pursued politics. In 1881 he began serving in the parliament of the Cape Colony. During his time in Parliament, he began to maneuver toward his goal of a strip of British control all down Africa. He needed the upper Nile to make it work. In his first incident with lifetime rival Paul Kruger, leader of the Boer state Transvaal, North Bechuanaland ended up a protectorate of the throne, and south Bechuanaland became a colony. Rhodes later received a charter from Queen Victoria for the British South Africa company, in order to develop new territory. The charter had no northern limit. Rhodes extended it into areas now known as Zambia, Malawi, and Botswana. Under his northern agenda he sought to unite the Boers and British in the south African parliament, of which he became prime minister in 1890. This goal was feasible at this point since Kruger had alienated some of the Boers. He once defined his policy as," equal rights for every civilized man south of the Zambezi."

It was a demonstration of the superiority of a highly disciplined European-led army equipped with modern rifles and artillery over a vastly larger force armed with older weapons, and marked the success of British efforts to re-conquer the Sudan. However, it was not until the 1899 Battle of Umm Diwaykarat that the final Mahdist forces were defeated. The major figures in the uprising in 1857 in India were disgruntled Sepoy troops
