Film Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

Throughout the film the Europeans had many difficulties through traveling and exploring Africa. They face the harsh heat from the sun. They faced the danger of the environment such as the dangerous surface of the ground and animals who inhabited the area. Animals such as lions were a great danger to the Europeans in their travels. Also bugs were dangerous if they did not put up their mosquito nets when going to bed. Besides the fact that the animals played a threat to the exploring but the native people of Africa also were a danger to the European explores. The explorers came in contact with the native African people a couple of time. When the explorers and the Native people had come in contact they would go in fights, killing each other or socializing and exchanging gifts.
It's strange the fact that the source of the Nile River which is the 3rd largest lake in the world is called Lake Victoria. Even thought the Lake is in Africa it is named after queen Victoria of Europe. The source was no part of Europe and still it was named after queen Victoria because the modern world believed that they discovered it even through it was inhabited by the native people of the Nile. Till this day Lake Victoria is still called Lake Victoria event thought the Europeans don't own it anymore.
In the end it all mattered on who had the technological advantage. The ones with the technological advantage were the Europeans. They had weapons such as guns which the African people have never seen before. Soon after the Europeans were able to conquer Africa because of Imperialism. They had more then enough technology to takeover Africa.
