Stanley’s African adventures can really only be appreciated if one looked at maps he had to rely on to survive. If you looked up Andriveau-Goujon’s ‘Carte générale de l’Afrique’ (1856) as an example, you will see a different Africa one with vast empty spaces. To be sure, it was a marked improvement to sixteenth century maps who used cyclops and giant elephants to hide their lack of knowledge, but yet you can still find fictional gigantic lakes and mountain ranges such as Lake Tanganyika and the Mountains of the Moon. Then, imagine you are tasked to find a single person in one of these entirely blank regions, while you also need to convince over a hundred strangers with you that this endeavor will be an undoubtedly dazzling success. Learn how Stanley even reached such an opportunity, having been born in Wales and disowned by his parents, to soon globetrotting and travel writing with his pockets continuously filled by the wealthiest of patrons.

For me this sounds fairer than most recent biographies I've heard about Stanley. Rather than demonizing him as a colonizer he's more a pawn who's work was used against the people Stanley met and made treaties with. The real villain is King Leopold who had his own agenda and essentially became the Hitler of Africa. I'm reminded of hearing about this anthropologist from early Soviet Russia during the time of Stalin who studied the people who lived in Siberia. Siberia had many native tribes that were cut off from the modern world and when Stalin asked what should be done with these tribes the anthropologist simply felt they should be left alone. Instead Stalin imposed his will upon those tribes bringing them under tighter Soviet control.

Good video. I'm always interested in the intersecting stories of Livingston and Stanley. Here's a couple of bits of extra trivia: 1. According to the few witnesses of Stanley's first meeting with Dr. Livingston, Stanley was described as excitedly nervous to finally make contact with Dr. Livingston, the result: a somewhat awkward greeting by Stanley who stated, (now famously/infamously) "Dr. Livingston, I presume." Which even Stanley would later admit to being unintentional, but it was what came out of his mouth at the time. 2. In the 1949, Abbott & Costello film, "Africa Screams," Lou Costello plays department-store bookseller, turned unwilling, inexperienced, African expedition guide, "Stanley Livington" (the "s" dropped from Livingston likely for legal reasons.) The film also featured appearances by world renowned non-lethal hunters/catchers/trainers of wild animals, Frank Buck ("Frank Buck brings 'em back alive" being his motto/slogan,) and top expert (at the time) of lions and "lion taming," Clyde Beatty.

Sir Henry Morton Stanley GCB was a Welsh-American explorer, journalist, soldier, colonial administrator, author and politician who was famous for his exploration of Central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone, whom he later claimed to have greeted with the now-famous line: "Dr Livingstone, I presume?". Besides his discovery of Livingstone, he is mainly known for his search for the sources of the Nile and Congo rivers, the work he undertook as an agent of King Leopold II of the Belgians which enabled the occupation of the Congo Basin region, and his command of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. He was knighted in 1897 and served in Parliament as a Liberal Unionist member for Lambeth North from 1895 to 1900. More than a century after his death, Stanley's legacy remains the subject of enduring controversy. Although he personally had high regard for many of the native African people who accompanied him on his expeditions, the exaggerated accounts of corporal punishment and brutality in his books fostered a public reputation as a hard-driving, cruel leader, in contrast to the supposedly more humanitarian Livingstone. His contemporary image in Britain also suffered from the inaccurate perception that he was American. In the 20th century, his reputation was also seriously damaged by his role in establishing the Congo Free State for King Leopold II. Nevertheless, he is recognized for his important contributions to Western knowledge of Central Africa's geography and his resolute opposition to the slave trade in East Africa.

This is a short biographical introduction to Stanley. The French and Belgian Congos have very obviously intertwined histories. For one, the French, wary of Stanley’s connection to the British, demanded his recall before agreeing at Berlin. Secondly, the modern borders that separate the DRC and the former French colonies to its north are a direct product of Stanley and de Brazza’s competing maneuvers

As a Brit I find colonial history both disturbing and fascinating at the same time. It's tragic that the lives of so many African, Asian, Indian and more lives were cut short by European expansion. Although it also fascinates me that formally isolated countries like England (later Britain) and France were able to expand so widely. It's also important to learn from our past so that we can prevent such tragic occupations in the future. Plus there were a few positives from colonialism such as expanded worldwide trade and new inventions. This doesn't by any means mean I'm proud of the British Empire though. History is complicated sometimes

@dareka9425 Жыл бұрын

I don't have a problem with British colonists in my place. I'm from Borneo and a British merchant came here and freed us from the constant danger of local pirates over 100 years ago. There were rebellions but since they're mostly caused by pirates who couldn't practice their piracy anymore no one, except for academics and text books trying to garner anti-colonist talking points, cares to celebrate them as heroes. Decades later the warring tribes even agreed of ending hostilities under the supervision of the Dutch and British representatives. Reading up about that event always bring tears to my eyes. The first White Rajah kept outsiders from exploiting our country. The second Rajah wanted locals to learn how to deal with outsiders. The third and last Rajah wanted locals to learn how to govern ourselves since he wasn't interested in continuing the White Rajah legacy. Sadly, World War 2 started and Imperial Japan invaded. I do have a problem with post-war Britain. The British government just chucked us over to Malaya because they didn't have the money to protect another colony from the coming Communist threat.

An extraordinary character whose workhouse childhood upbringing before setting sail to America is worthy of a short documentary and goes along way to justifying his motivations, and later life decisions and politics. In comparison to the brutality and incompetent leadership of many other African explorers, Livingstone included, HMS was an exception; showing repeated empathy and true (if firm) leadership in conditions and circumstances no one will ever understand to hold the groups together. His journalistic efforts were only a conduit to his true love, that of exploration for the sake of it and fortuitously provided him in the "scoop" of Livingston. His support of colonialism in the interests of commercialism of the Central regions of Africa and the abolition of Arab-led slavery on the East coast his interests were repeatedly shown to sincere.
