Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

The problems that European explorers faced was mostly due to the rough terrain that was impossible to traverse and the threat of malaria from mosquitoes. Also, many of the African tribes would attack explorers and either kill them, or bring the exploration to a halt. The naming of the lake is strange because they named it after a British queen even though it is an African river. The Europeans had superior weaponry, knowledge, and medicine. The Europeans conquered Africa easily due to advanced weapons, such as the machine gun.
