Mountains of the moon
There were many problems that Europeans faced while exploring Africa. One of the major problems was making it through the desert, many people died while traveling in the desert because they barely had food or water. They didn't know where they were going because everything look the same. The explorershad problems finding the nile river. On their search of the nile river they found another river thinking that they had already found the nile river. People began to drink the water from the river and because they drank from it they got malaria and died with in days. They named this lake after their queen back in England which was Queen Victoria. When the bristish people went into Africa they had weapons such as a Rifle and a six round pistol. when the Africans saw these new weapons, they were afraid because they never heard such a loud noise. The Europeans had an advantage in taking over Africa because all the Africans were spears and Europeans had guns that could shoot from a long distance. Eventually the Europeans could of conquered all of Africa.
