Film Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

Europeans faced many hardships when they entered Africa. This is because the African people in the center of Africa have never seen a white man. They are also very territorial, and because of this then they attack any intruders that enter their territory. The geography of Africa was a hot and dry land. This cause a lot of people to die in the hot weather. The rocky terrain caused a lot of trouble traveling. The lake was named after a British queen because there were no other explorers that discovered the source (Lake Victoria) and the area that surrounds the lake. The middle of Africa was a unknown area because all the hardships. The reason for being superior than the African people was the European technology. The biggest technology gap was in the weapons. The Africans had spears and Europeans had guns. This led to an easy conquering over the African people. Thats why Europeans could take over the contenent.
