Abstract
Geography is a discipline with a troubling history. Its modern origins lie in the European expansionism of the 18th and 19th centuries, when it developed as the science of empire. The discipline still treads an uneasy path between scientific endeavour and derring-do, but this wasn't and still isn't the only trouble with geography; it is simply spread too thinly across a huge diversity of sub-disciplines. Nevertheless, a distinct coalescence of events occurred in the 19th century, notably in the founding of geographical societies and the European exploration of Africa, which resulted in the emergence of an almost united geographical endeavour.
