They came in that order:
1. First , the lone explorer
2. Followed by the missionary and his Bible
3. Then the traders
4. Finally, the soldiers, guns and cannons.

One King in Ethiopia said,' let's move fast to the guns and cannon" , when he noticed the white infiltration.

Do you think they were all tied together as an agenda?

CAPITAL "YES"!

The true story of Christian mission work from Europe to Africa is an incredible story of love and sacrifice.

The only love involved is the love of money stoked by unbounded avarice.

They sold you the asinine concept of original sin, the snake oil called salvation, and their image (the popular image of Jesus) to worship. They shed their “dark ages” and y’all have embraced it. They tell you a foreign ethnocentric god is a universal god and you believe them. The call your theology and metaphysics “juju” (French Jou Jou meaning plaything) while selling you nonsense about some virgin-born jew who came to die for you. Look around you, the proof of their scam and successful heist to build their societies is more than obvious. Meanwhile, you people are waiting for some jew to ride a horse down from space to save you or maybe you’re waiting to die so you can go be a slave to this “lord and master” in heaven.

This sustained period of domination and exploitation was hardest on indigenous peoples around the world whose rights to the land they had lived in, in some cases for thousands of years, were not recognized by the colonizers. European Christians claimed the territory and resources of indigenous peoples with extreme violence. Native people were either killed, displaced, or forced to conform to the language and culture of the invaders. The effects of these crimes reverberate through our society. We are only just beginning to deal with the consequences of our colonial history.

Christians have a particular role in grappling with this injustice, because the Europeans who engaged in the colonial project did so with explicit theological justification. They were acting according to something called the Doctrine of Discovery, which essentially says that only Christians are fully human and entitled to own land. “Pagans and infidels” have the right of occupancy until such time as their land is “discovered” by a properly Christian authority, then their rights and their lives are basically forfeit.

Christian savagery has been so successful that their victims praise them for being peaceful while suffering from a thousand cuts and bleeding to death.

You're mistaken shaa. And your history is mistaken too.

No, I’m not wrong.
Christianity is juju that owns its success to savagery.

Model
In response to these conflicts, a series of fifteenth century popes argued for the enslavement of non-Christians as "an instrument for Christian conversion." According to church law, Christians were protected from slavery, but Muslim "infidels" and non-Christian "pagans" were acceptable to enslave. Similarly, in Islamic law, only non-Muslims could be enslaved. While Jewish populations living in Christian-dominated Western Europe were protected from slavery in the Middle Ages, widespread anti-Semitic prejudices amongst European Christians led to Jewish persecution, exile, violent massacres, and even accusations of causing the Black Death.

In the New World, the criteria for enslavement increasingly shifted from non-Christian to non-European. As Europeans began emphasizing religious, racial, and ethnic differences between themselves and American Indians and Africans, this boundary moved further, from non-European to non-"white," particularly to enable the enslavement of "black" Africans and their African American descendants.

Those that first came to Africa weren't Christ's followers but politicians!
