It notes that over half of all Protestant missionaries during this period worked in areas under British or French rule, with more missionaries working in British territories, particularly Africa. The author also highlights the differing attitudes toward missions held by totalitarian and democratic governments, citing the forced expulsion of German missionaries from Ethiopia and Eastern Europe as examples. Additionally, the book discusses the impact of World War I on missions, as financial support from Germany was cut off, leading missionaries to share their allowances with their German counterparts. The author also examines the tolerant attitude of the British government, allowing German missionaries to remain in their posts as long as they did not interfere with political matters.
