As Richard Burton and John Spekes made their way through Africa they encountered many hardships. One of which was the African Tribes who were very hostile towards anyone who were unfortunate enough to come into their territory. John Spekes legs were messed up while Richard Burton had a spear thrown through his throat. After going through many hardships crossing East Africa to reach the source of the Nile River they finally arrived at the third largest lake in the world. Now since they "discovered the source" they got to name it, they named it after Queen Victoria. The Europeans did have a huge advantage over the Africans, which was better technology. The Europeans brought machine guns and easily conquered the African People. Alas the Europeans sold of the land afterwards.
