Mountains of the moon

Mountains of the moon
-In the film "mountains of the moon" Europeans go to Africa to look for a source river to find gold. It wasnt so easy because they were on foot traveling for 6 months or more and also had a lack supply of food. Another hardship is that people died on the way from malaria, but later on they found a cure for malaria. The travelers got stopped by other Africans that never saw white peopple before, but eventually showed them that they meen no harm. Another hardship they faced was mosquitos at night and also getting their valuble belongings stolen.

It is very unusual that the third largest lake in the world was named after a British queen. The reason for this is because when the Europeans explored, they named certain places even thought it wasnt their country or their land.

The Europeans had a huge advantage over the Africans. The europeans barely had any type of weapon except the spear. Much better than the Africans, the Europeans had machine guns & pistols which is what led to the Europeans to be able to conquer Africa.
