The Europeans faced a lot hardships as they explored Africa hardships like: storms, sickness,death,starvation,and their supplies.
I don't really know because it is the largest and nature created it to be the third largest lake, plus the part of the river that is a lake was actually conquered by the English, and thats how they got Lake Victoria.
