Film Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

In the film "Mountains of the Moon" there were plenty hardships. One of the first hardships was the explorers being attacked by an African tribe. The explorers suffered bad injuries from this attack. Another hardship was people dying from miliaria, while searching for lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is named after the British Queen. This is strange because the lake is in Africa, so you may think it will have an African name.

The Europeans had technology advantages over the Africans. They had thermometers, microscopes, and even clothes the Africans have not seen yet. The most primary technology they had over the Africans was the gun. The Africans were afraid and amazed at the gun when they first saw it. The main reason Europeans were able to conquer Africa so easily was because they had machine guns that has a major advantage over the spear or shied.
