The film "Mountains of the Moon" Was made in 1990 and is made out of something important that happen in 1852 what happen was that two Europeans went looking for the source of the Nile River, the two explorers Richard Burton and John Speke. The two explorers went to a lot of trouble to find it they went to africa twice the first time they went almost all the people that went got kill and on of the explorers got a spear right throw his mouth. they went to many trouble in Africa for example they didn't have many supplies and the area was in bad conditions plus they had to handle the be insects and one of them got sick. In the end they founded the soure of the Nile River which is the Lake Victoria that Some thing strange that I found that the source of the Nile River, the Lake Victoria has such an awkward name becuse is name after the queen of England and the river is in africa.
The Europeans took over the africa in about 20 years, The European took the continent that fast because they had better technology but the biggest difference in technology was that the africans fought using spears and arows but the Britishs fought using gun and rifles.
