Film Lesson: "Mountains of The Moon"

Europeans didn't know what was in store for them when they went into Africa to explore the land and find the source of the Nile River. Of course they had the upperhand of being more technological advanced then the Africans, but the only disadvantage was that they didn't know the land. Along with the new found disesas of melaria, they have alson been attacked by other tribes who own land that they tresspass on. Having many hardships on their journey to find the source of the nile river, came many accidents (bug in his ear...ow much?/ew...) and incidents (leg disease). Europeans had the advantage of guns and weapons (guns, powerder, and machine guns). They named the lake which John Speak guessed was the source, after Queen Victoria in, because the whole point was to discover something and name it after their magesty Queen Victoria. After discovering the land geografically and having the techincal advancements, they could charge in and take over Africa easily with their guns and killing away.
