Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

When Europeans began to explore Africa they faced many challenges. When the Europeans traveled through Africa the natives who were all dark skinned and who had never before seen "white men" were scared and attacked them. The native tribes also did not like the fact that the Europeans were invading there territory. Europeans employed Africans to join them as workers on there expeditions, but soon some of the Africans took there supplies and fled camp, so the European travelers were stranded sometimes without there necessary supplies.
When the discovery of the source of the Nile river was made, the founders were from England, and there queen was named Victoria, so they thought they would honoring her by naming the 3rd largest lake in the world after her.

Europeans were able to take over Africa easily because of there machine guns, the African tribes only had bows and arrows whilst the Europeans had these machine guns that could kill people by the thousands.

Imperialism Project

We did the Imperialism project to show how countries took over other countries and how language and agricultural spread through out the world.It also showed 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 took over land in the Caribbean. Europeans are the one that conquered the most. Many people like in South America and Spain speak Spanish now.
