Late 19th Century and Fin de Siècle (Sandbox Version)

--Inawe 20:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

The Church of Scotland is only one of many state churches that sent out missionaries. Besides the European state affiliated Protestant and Anglican churches, the Roman Catholic Church and the North-American Free Churches built their often micro-managed church networks in most "undeveloped" countries and continents.

During and after the Crimean War new technology in warfare and communication questioned the optimism that typically marked the first half of the century. It gave way to pessimism and even hatred among those who did not have access to those new technologies. Although the mission movement used continental trains, intercontinental steam boats, telegraph and telegram of the high industrialized nations, they would more and more identify with the poor and underprivileged. In many cases they got into open conflict with political interests of their home countries. The First World War made an end to most European mission activities.
