A common way of understanding the Twentieth Century is to interpret the period as the gradual unraveling of European hegemony. At the start of the century, European states dominated the globe with unprecedented power; by the end of the century, the most powerful states on the globe were no longer European. Trace this “end of the European era” by demonstrating: a) how and why European states lost their position of dominance; b) what states – if any – have filled this vacuum, and how they did so; c) what impact these developments have had on other areas of the globe; and d) how this transition might affect the understanding, teaching, and spread of Christianity.
