The Europeans had some hardships while traveling through Africa. Well first they were traveling by foot. Another was that they were losing some supplies like food and water. Some of them didn't survive the explore. Some of them got infected by the water they drank. It was pretty strange that one of the world's largest lake in the world the Nile River(Lake Victoria) was named after the British Queen. The Africans took advantage over the Europeans because they had a gun. Europeans were able to conquer Africa so easily.

Imperialism Project
For the project we did in class was we colored in certain countries to show which countries were taking over others and which ones had slaves and tea and cannons etc. To also show which countries were taking over other territories. Europeans had influenced many of the other countries like America, China, Middle East, Africa, Australia, Eastern America etc. I learned that England took over places in Canada. Spain and Portugal attained land in the Caribbean. Europeans are the one that conquered the most. Many people like in South America and Spain speaks Spanish now.
