In "Mountains of the Moon" the Europeans wanted to find the source of the Nile River. Some problems that the Europeans faced while trying to achieve their goal was that the African people attacked the European people which forced the Europeans to go back.
Once the Europeans came back to Africa they made trades with Africa and asked them to help them find the source of the Nile River.
They traveled far and got sick they eventually made it to what they claimed was the source of the Nile and they called it "Lake Victoria" The reason why they called this lake, Lake Victoria because the current Queen at that time was Queen Victoria.
The Europeans had technological advantage over the Africans because they had guns and the Africans didn't.
It was easy for the Europeans to conquer Africa because the third time that the Europeans went into Africa, the Europeans had more of a technological advantage over the African people.
