Coscivian civilisation: Difference between revisions

The first encounters with European-derived civilisation since the Hiberno-Scottish mission occured in the 13th century, as Coscivian explorers, traders, and colonists came into contact with the European peoples of [[Levantia]] and other regions in [[Ixnay]] and further afield. Civilisational conflict of any sort did not emerge in earnest until the 20th century, when the beginnings of globalisation forced the greater part of the Coscivian world to confront a Western-dominated international society and international order. A number of 20th-century developments in Western civilisation, such as {{wp|materialism}}, {{wp|utilitarianism}} and {{wp|secularisation}}; the growth of totalising ideologies such as communism, fascism, and nationalism; revolutionary and countercultural movements; and the proliferation of {{wp|consumerism}} and a homogenised mass-culture, began to stir antipathy towards Western civilisation and arouse fears of assimilation. Both social and political [[Anti-Westernism in Kiravia|Anti-Western]] movements gained momentum during the mid-20th century, and exercise a great deal of influence over cultural, language, immigration, and foreign policy in [[Kiravia]] and [[Livensóla]].
