The film " Mountains of the Moon " was about finding the source of the Nile river it basically talk about exploring Africa where no white people had ever been before. it showed imperialism in many. Some of the hardships that Europeans faced as they explored Africa was the diseases, bugs, the weather type, the wild , trying to get to the source of the Nile by walking , also by being attack many times by different tribes in Africa. But at the end they found the source of the Nile and when they found it they named it lake Victoria and this was really weird because they didn't discovered the lake people in Africa knew it was there but they didn't really cared about that but John speek and Richard Burton named it Victoria because they were superior then Africans they had more power . And that's how imperialism work . Also Europeans had way better technology than African and one of the primary technology was guns this was an advantage Europeans had over Africans. Europeans eventually were able to conquer Africa very easily because they had guns , they had machines to make the guns too, Europeans also found the cure for malaria.
