The person primarily responsible for promoting interest in opening the African interior to European trade was Henry Morton Stanley. A Welsh-American explorer and journalist, Stanley is known for his expeditions in Africa, particularly his exploration of the Congo River basin. His encounters with local leaders and reports on the resources and potential for trade in the region spurred European interest, leading to increased exploration and colonization efforts in Africa during the late 19th century.
