"Mountains of the Moon"

There were many hardships that Europeans faced when they were traveling in Africa. Some of the hardships these White Europeans faced was getting Malaria from mosquitoes. There were many, many mosquitoes and they were killing these European explorers. Richard Burton and John Speeke were 2 of these European explorers being affected. The explorers also faced getting attacked by African tribes. It is also very ironic that Lake Victoria a white lady was named the largest lake in Africa. Africa is dominated by the Black Race but the the biggest Lake is not named by somebody black, it is named after a White Lady!!!!!! The primary technological advantage the Europeans had over the Africans was weapons. The Europeans had machine guns that could easily wipe out the Africans. The Europeans easily controlled over Africa because they were much stronger and much smarter than the African people. They were much advance than the African people. From the movie "Mountains of the Moon" the African people didn't even know what a gun was, they didnt even know to pour Tea. These are why the Europeans could easily control the Africans
