Also, why is it strange that the source of the Nile River, (Lake Victoria - the third largest lake in the world) is named after a British Queen? Finally, what was the primary technological advantage that Europeans had over African people? Why were Europeans eventually able to conquer Africa so easily?

Some of the hardships that Europeans faced exploring Africa was going south, exploring the land. There were many tribes attacking, and destroying their resources. When the different tribes would see the Europeans their fight, attack so they can leave and it works. They would burn and kill anyone in there path.
