      He was one of the explorers who explored Africa.
  • Both had combined the “discovery” of the Congo basin
  • In a sense, the two rivals embodied the transnationality of the “exploration” of Africa – an “effort of all nations under all flags” as Brazza had put it.

  • Pogge had successfully reached the destination of the journey and thus proven that the Congo basin could also be reached from the west.

      The success of Pogge exploration led to a specific outcome.
  • Pogge set off on a nine-month hunting trip to the South African Cape and Natal. This first African experience proved important a few years later when Pogge tried to join an expedition to the Lunda Kingdom in the southern Congo region

      European who explored Africa.
  • From there, the expedition intended to journey on to Nyangwe on the upper reaches of the Congo.
  • In April 1876, Pogge set off on his return journey to the coast, finally reaching the port of Hamburg in January 1877.

      Another expedition by Pogge.
  • From there, Wissmann travelled on to Zanzibar, making him the first European to cross the continent from west to east near the equator
  • Pogge helped to create “the political and moral framework within which conquest would take place
  • Like many other contemporary “explorers” and missionaries in Africa Pogge painted a picture of ignorant, inferior, and immoral Africans.

      lorraine03 on 26 Apr 23
       
      The impact as a result of his exploration.
  • Pogge – like the other “explorers” – produced knowledge that could be used establishing colonial rule in Africa.
  • This knowledge on caravan travelling was crucial for the colonial project, because, as Michael Pesek has shown for East Africa, the early colonial state was heavily reliant on the experience and infrastructure of expeditions
  • Explorers (as missionaries who shared these traits to a great extent) should thus remind us that colonialism was far more transimperially connected than historians have long accounted for.
