For my final project, I will be studying the difference between colonization of the New World through Protestant and Catholic nations. I want to examine the effects both religions had on invaded territories and their inhabitants, as well as how these two faith in Europe affected political relations and how they tied into exploration and discovery.
Catholicism and Protestantism both seek to spread the truth about Christ and their respective churches through conversion and exploration and expansion between the 15th and 19th centuries. Utilized as justification, weaponry, threat, conversion tactics, and diplomacy, religion played a pivotal role in European domination of the Atlantic. My goal in this project will be to analyze the psychologies behind colonization and slavery, and how Christianity contributed to Eurocentrism throughout the Atlantic.
