Stanley joined him in exploring the region, establishing for certain that there was no connection between Lake Tanganyika and the river Nile.
Despite Stanley's efforts, the facts gradually emerged: his opinion was that "the savage only respects force, power, boldness, and decision." Stanley would eventually be held responsible for a number of deaths and was indirectly responsible for helping establish the rule of Léopold II of Belgium over the Congo Free State.
In 1886, Stanley led the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition to "rescue" Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria in the southern Sudan.

Sir Henry Morton Stanley (also known as Bula Matari (Breaker of Rocks) in Congo), born John Rowlands (January 28, 1841 – May 10, 1904), was a 19th-century Welsh-born American journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of Africa and his search for David Livingstone.
He was born in Denbigh, Denbighshire, Wales; his parents were unmarried, and he was brought up in a workhouse (now HM Stanley Hospital, St Asaph).
Despite Stanley's efforts, the facts gradually emerged: his opinion was that "the savage only respects force, power, boldness, and decision."

Livingstone was to become for Stanley something of an ideal father-figure – a replacement for the father he never had – and he would in later life refer to back to what Livingstone might have said or done.
News of Stanley’s meeting with Livingstone was telegraphed around the world as soon as he regained the African coast in 1872 and Stanley’s almost immediate publication of his sensationalising journalistic account, How I Found Livingstone: Travels, Adventures and Discoveries in Central Africa (1872), confirmed his reputation as an intrepid explorer and soaring self-promoter.
Stanley was just the man needed by King Leopold II of the Belgians who wanted to establish his own colonial enterprise in Africa.

 Sir Henry Morton Stanley
Stanley located the great explorer on Lake Tanganyika on Nov. 10, 1871, addressing him with the famous words, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” Failing to persuade Livingstone to leave Africa, Stanley returned to England with the news of his discovery.
A naturalized U.S. citizen, Stanley again became a British subject in 1892, sat in Parliament (1895–1900), and was knighted (1899).
A British and American hero for about a century, Stanley has fared poorly in recent histories, which have revealed instances of his lying about events in his life, duplicity in some of his dealings, and many acts of brutality to Africans.
