#stitch with @Salena L. Manies Christianity and colonization are intricately linked in the history of European expansionism. During the Age of Exploration and subsequent centuries, European powers often used Christianity as a justification for colonizing distant lands. Missionaries were dispatched alongside explorers, aiming to convert indigenous peoples to Christianity, which they saw as a moral and religious duty. This religious zeal sometimes led to cultural assimilation and conflicts with native beliefs and practices. The impact of Christianity on colonization varies across regions, but it undeniably played a significant role in shaping the history and cultures of many colonized societies, with negative consequences. #colonisers #colonisation #imperialism #atr #africantraditionalreligion
