Universal Spread of Christianity: Part Two

Abstract

After the Congress of Vienna (1815) the conservative forces attempted a return to the old regime, without achieving it, as Western society had been profoundly transformed by the industrial and French revolutions. The West, in the second half of the nineteenth century, is diverse from the ancien régime both demographically (greater population, better vital capacity and well-being) and anthropologically, because it ceased to be a society of status or status, in which everyone had their place and livelihoods assigned by custom and tradition, to become a higher social mobility , where the place of each occupies is the function of the services provided to others (mutual services and considerations) rather than what is customary to do. This meant that the bourgeoisie and the working classes acquired a previously unknown preponderance. All of this involved the repudiation of ancestral forms of servitude and subjection, the spread of freedom and human rights to ever-widening strata of the population, as well as the virtually universal dissemination of political rights.
