History
Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1873), Scottish missionary and physician, was born in Blantyre, Scotland. He spent half his life exploring southern and central Africa. In addition to adding greatly to Europes knowledge of the continents geography, he heightened Western awareness of Africa and stimulated Christian missionary activity there. His activities helped bring about the Scramble for Africa, in which European powers seized virtually all of Africa in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
