Detailed Solution

Sir Henry Morton Stanley was an explorer sent to Central Africa.
A journalist and an explorer, Sir Henry Morton Stanley, was assigned by the New York Herald to locate explorer and missionary Ford Livingston, who had been in Africa for several years. Like other European and American explorers of the day, Stanley travelled with weapons, enlisted the aid of local hunters, warriors, and labourers, engaged in combat with local tribes; explored the African landscape; and surveyed various areas. These explorations aided the conquest of Africa. Geographical explorations were not solely motivated by a sincere desire to learn more about science. They were, more often than not, closely related to imperial undertakings.
