Christianity is not a western religion. It originated on the Western fringe of Asia – what we tend to call the ‘Middle East’. However, for many centuries the expansion of Christianity was directed from Europe and became entangled with the growth of the great European empires. Today over two-thirds of the world’s Christians live outside Europe, which has reverted to what it was in the days of the early Church – unbelieving territory on the margins of the faith. The texts that you can look at here tell part of the story of how European Christians spread their message. They reveal some of their assumptions that we might now find strange or unacceptable. They also point to some of the reasons why Christianity would eventually take deep roots in other cultures – not least through the translation of the Bible into many different languages.

Henry Cabot Lodge and other senators opposed ratification of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) because they believed the treaty 3. could draw the United States into future conflicts. Remember that the period of international involvement marked by Woodrow Wilson's presidency and World War I was a new situation for the previously isolated United States. A great number of policymakers still advocated that idea of isolationism - avoiding involvement abroad. While they were able to block the ratification of the Versailles Treaty, the United States would continue to become more and more involved in international affairs as the century progressed.
