Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

In this movie two men go to the middle of Africa in which no one has been before in search for the Nile River. The men were accompanied by African men, unfortunately many men died of mosquito diseases and malaria. They went from village to village trying to get some help & giving girts to the kings. Both of the men disagreed on how they found the Nile River & as a cause of that one of the men committed suicide. Many of their men died of diseases & thirst.

When the Nile River was found they named it Lake Victoria after a queen from British. This was because the British men found the lake so that lead to the conquering of Africa. The Europeans had such advanced technology that the Africans didn't know what a gun was, therefore had no weapons of those kinds. This made it a lot easier to conquer them.
