In the movie "Mountain of the moon" it was about dis two europeans named Richard Burtun and John Speke were two explorers looking for the source of the Nile river. They wanted to seach for the river, and they didnt give up until they find it. On their journey they had many problems. They meet africans that had never seen white people before so the Africans gave the European explores a hard time.
Some of the Africans treated the white people really bad. THe Europeans faced death not only from african tribes but from such things as malaria, yellow fever, dirty water, and lack of food. The reason why it strange that the source of the nile river was named after a white british queen because the source of nile river is in a african colony not in british but it should be named after the one that founded it. The source of the nile river which is now named Victoria is the 3rd most largest lake in the world. The advantage that the European explorers had was that they had guns back then it was the most dangerous weapon they used it to keep thgeir enemies away but now in this new world its like nobody cares who has a gun. So that help the European conquer the africans because the only thing the africans had were spears and the Europeans had guns.
