In the 1800s, European explorers, notably John Hanning Speke and Richard Burton, set out to discover the source of the Nile River. Their expeditions led them to Lake Victoria, which Speke identified as the primary source in 1858. This discovery was significant as it helped to resolve long-standing debates about the river's origins and contributed to the European understanding of African geography. However, further exploration revealed that the Nile has multiple tributaries, complicating the narrative of a single source.
