Hi friends in this article let us discuss about a French explorer and more than importan he has one of the longest name which you would have very rarely seen.
Pierre Paul Francois Camille Savorgnan de Brazza was a French explorer and he is the one who was responsible for finding and also for the early administration of the French Congo. This region was formerly a colonial possession of France in the west central Africa. The image of Bazza is shown below
At that time there was a Scramble for Africa as most of the European powers wanted to invade and also to claim African territory and this happeded during the late 19th century.
But however the French managed to retain Congo and credit goes to Brazza as he made several treaties that secured the French foothold in the Congo River region.The French Congo region is shown below
Brazza was born January 26, 1852.Even though Brazza was a French national his parents wre from Italy and he was also born in Rome, Italy. The reason how Bazza came to France was that his father,had connections in France and this helped him to get the Brazza’s entry into the French naval academy.
In 1874,Brazza was brought to French Gabon,which is a small coastal colony located north of the Congo River as a duty on a French warship.This was the turning point in his life and from here, he started to make trips up the Gabon Estuary and the Ogooue River.
When he returned to France again,he became a naturalized French citizen and also managed to win the support from the French Government for an expedition to explore further the inland and also to promote the French interests in the area.
As a result of this from 1875 to 1878,river system of present-day Gabon was expored by Brazza and he also discovered the source of the Ogooue river, but while he was about to find he was forced to retreat because the local Africans started to attack him.The image of the Ogooue river is shown below
But the problem started in 1879, when an Anglo-American explorer called Henry Morton Stanley started to begin the development in the lower Congo River region,and he also staked claims and he started the negotiating treaties in the name of Belgian king Leopold II.The image of the Henry Morton Stanley is shown below
And as a result of this the French Government ordered Brazza to go back to Africa so as to secure a French foothold in that area.Brazza assembled a team in 1880 and he headed back up the Ogooue river and he managed to built a station on its headwaters , and he also named the station as Franceville.
After these developments he and his troops started marching south to the Congo River,and they also beat Stanley on place called Stanley Pool (which is now known as Pool Malebo). After this victory Brazza signed treaties with a local ruler and and he also founded a settlement which later became the city of Brazzaville.
The treaties signed by Brazza treaties was very important as it provided the basis for France to control the larger part of Congo during the mid-1880s.In 1891, the French Congo, was declared a French protectorate and as a result of this in 1910, it became part of French Equatorial Africa and today this is occupied by both the Republic of the Congo and Gabon.
Highest position was given to Brazza as he was appointed as the commissioner-general of French Congo in 1886 but he was not efficient and he proved less successful as an administrator, as he was only a skilled explorer.
However in 1898, Brazza was replaced, when Leopold’s Congo Free State (which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), located on the other side of the river was efficient enough in making money from rubber exports whereas Brazza couldn't do this.
In 1904 a report was issued to the French Government which describes the systematic use of forced labor and also the brutality on African workers in the Frenc Congo.
So Brazza was sent back to Congo in 1995 to investigate this problem and after he returned to Congo Brazza also found European rubber harvesters using the similarly shocking practices there.
However he couldn't report to France and he eventually died in the French colony of Senegal on September 14, 1905.

Most of us have a habit of being inquisitive. Being inquisitive is good if it is in our well being or in the well being of people whom we are associated with. However in more cases we are become inquisitive for the wrong reasons and the most common way of being inquisitive is peeping into lives of others around us. The most common ways of peeping into other lives are:-
Peeping into a PC: It begins at our workplace. Very often we want to know what our colleagues are typing. Whether somebody is chatting with a girl, or viewing a social networking site we are interested. It could also be that the person is sharing his happiness with a beloved family members or could be sorting out a problem with them. Yet we want to know what that person is typing and to whom and disclose it to others though we have nothing to gain from it. We tend to derive fun by discussing with others on a issue which is very personal.
Observing a couple:- Another common area of interest, observing a couple in your neighbourhood, and discussing their problems with other neighbours. The point of observation would definitely be, whether the couples do get along well and if they do not then it becomes a topic for time pass with neighbours. Needless to say the usual expectation of the couple from others is a problem between them
Office Affairs:- Observation of a closessness between colleagues between opposite genders is a good way of spending time. More time is spent on discussing about them, whether or not they have an affair. People take great pride in these sort of discussions.
These things do not have any relevance in our lives but still we consider them as part and parcel of our lives. We seem to take great pride in other's problems than our own happiness. We always tend to forget like how we observe others and make fun of them, it happens with us also, as there are bound to be people who observe us and make fun of us.
Let us stop peeping into their lives to make their lives and our lives happier.

However, to do this as a very memorable wedding without spending more is possible. And, most surprisingly, it is possible for these marriages as or even more expensive as a grand spectacular weddings.
Some suggestions for you to save money on wedding preparations are.
1. Plan ahead of time. Time to sleep, so they say. So if you spend more time you're down. This is particularly true when the wedding date as you prepare for a major incident area are coming closer, you will find yourself spending more time with you just to get things done waiting is enabled.
This can be avoided if you already started preparing. First, better. It gives you more time to prepare and sure things are correct. If you are short of time, you will find yourself to have workers overpaying just meet your needs run. Unfortunately, low quality jobs are usually taken.
2. It yourself. Though not all are applicable here, are you still punishing yourself doing anything and preparations can save a lot. The wedding gifts, decorations, handicrafts goes for, and other materials that can be done at home.
Content you will need for the traditions of marriage in their spare time can you and your friends are handcrafted by. This is why you have so much time that they marry yourself enough for the stuff needed to be some opportunities will need to plan ahead.
3. Employment to help their friends. Friends through thick and thin and there are the weddings. If your friend can lend you some manpower to help in your wedding preparations, which will be a big boost to efforts to save money for you.
This is especially true if you have friends who like this design, catering for weddings as important areas are skilled in some areas, and is sewing. If they are free you, or helped them for a low cost, may have constituted a big savings.
4. Expensive is not necessarily better. When purchasing materials for your wedding, sure you keep in mind that expensive is not necessarily made better. You can buy the usual stuff that people branded as good or better. So do a little shopping before buying their content. You have some very well may have to move without denting your wallet
