Imperialism Project

The reason why we did this project was because we had to learn what supplies the countries had and how much colonies of them were spread around the world. I learned that the Britain colonies had more colonies spread out throughout the world then any countries back in the old days. I also learned the trails they passed through to get to destination by boat or ship. Because Britain had more advanced technology then any country back them they had better advantages in anything.

Film Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

that slowed them down on their adventure. There are African tribes that steal, or even kill anything that In this movie there are these two guys named Richard Burton and John Speke who are exploring Africa dying to discover the source of the Nile river. They will do anything and face any danger just to discover the source. In case you don't know a source of any river means the place the water is coming from or where it begins from. And on their journey they stumble upon many obstacles trespasses their territory. They get robed twice on their journey. Once when they got slave helpers to carry their equipment during their journey, they just ran with the supplies. And another time when they were sleeping. And even when their sleeping bugs can hurt them badly like it affected John Speke. It is strange that the Lake Victoria is named after the British queen because why would they name a lake after a British name when the lake takes place all the way in Africa? I know the ones who explored it and discovered it were British but they should still give credit to the African since it is in Africa. The reason why the British technology is more advanced then the African is because they have guns that kill people faster and better without using time.
