Karema (or Kalema) is a settlement in Tanzania, on the east shore of Lake Tanganyika, once the location of a White Fathers mission station. ==Background== Lake Tanganyika lies in the east of the Congo Basin. The slave and ivory trader Tippu Tip founded a private empire along the Upper Congo river to the west of the lake in the 1870s, sending his goods to Zanzibar for sale. Karema lay on one of the routes from the Congo to the east coast of Africa. The International African Association was created in September 1876, with King Leopold II of Belgium as its President, at the International Geographical Conference in Brussels. The ''Comité D'Études du Haut Congo'' was created on 25 November 1878 with the aim of opening up the huge Congo Basin to European exploitation. The ''Comité'' was a precursor of the Congo Free State, a private enterprise of King Leopold II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karema, Tanzania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
