The great period of European exploration of Africa comprised barely fifty years of the 19th century, yet explorers located the source of the Nile at Lake Victoria, mapped the Congo River, and even found Dr. Livingstone. But they also brought environmental exploitation and ruthless colonization. Euphoric success and physical horrors resulted from this dramatic meeting of two disparate cultures.
