Film Lessons: "Mountains of the Moon"

Some of the hardships that they faced, was a disease in the water called Maleria. (I dont know how to spell it). But yes a disease, bugs, shortage of food and water, some of the african people getting hurt, including the european guys. Another hard ship was that other African tribes tried to kill them and didn't like them. The river is probably called after a British Queen, because the Europeans are the one who discovered it, or because the guy in the movie who discovered the river first wanted it to be named that way, either those two theories. The advantage that the europeans had over the africans was that they had more advance weapons, more advanced stuff PERIOD!. The europeans easily conquered them because like i said the British had more advanced weapons then they did, so they destroyed or killed the tribes quickly.
