With the discovery that traders could obtain gold from kingdoms along the Gold Coast, interest in West African trade intensified. In 1482, the Portuguese established a fort to protect their interests, but they soon faced stiff competition from other European countries. Although the Portuguese mapped the mouth of the Congo River, they did not try to travel it during their explorations. They had little interest in establishing colonies inland.

The Congo River primarily flows through the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where it is one of the longest rivers in Africa. It also forms part of the border between the DRC and the Republic of the Congo. The river plays a crucial role in the ecology and economy of the region, serving as an important waterway for transportation and trade.

The Congo River starts in Congo, ends in Tanzania, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

It was believe to be too shallow for the Naus and Caravelas used by the explorers. Building shallow-water vessels in-situ would be too time-consuming, which multiplies danger during an exploration expedition. It just wasn't cost-effective when compared to simply exploiting the resource-rich coastline.

Five West African states from which slaves were taken between the Senegal and Congo rivers and brought to Guyana and the Caribbean include Senegal, Gambia, Ghana, Benin, and Nigeria. These regions were part of the transatlantic slave trade, where enslaved individuals were forcibly transported to work on plantations in the Americas. The trade had a profound impact on the demographics and cultures of both the Caribbean and the regions of Africa involved.

Yes, the Congo River does have whirlpools, particularly in areas with strong currents and complex underwater topography. These whirlpools can be dangerous for navigation and are often formed where the river's flow is disrupted by obstacles or changes in depth. The river's immense volume and speed contribute to the formation of these swirling water patterns, especially in its rapids and narrow sections.
