Chapter 20 Part 2

Education, religion, and race and tribe took a major turn after the second wave of European conquests. The education took a big role in the change in societies because it caused a lot more people to be literate which was big deal back then. A very big amount of the population was illiterate and being able to get a real education made it possible for a lot of people to finally be able to read. While many people saw the European colonial rule as a negative thing going on in their countries, a lot of other people viewed the colonial rule as a way to  better future because of all the better education that was brought with the colonial rule. Another thing that came along with European colonial rule, was religion. Christianity spread along with the European conquests. Although Christianity didn't spread widely in every single country the Europeans came across, it spread in most of the countries. The reason why Christianity spread so popularly, was because Christianity was part of the education that the Europeans brought, and since a lot of countries thought that the European education was a new, bright path to the future, they went along with religion because it was taught with their education.
