European Religions
In the 1500s Europe experienced a religious upheaval called the Reformation. During this
period, new Protestant faiths challenged the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church.
The results of this conflict permanently altered the religious landscape of Europe.

Holt World Geography Today 10 Map Activities
1. What religions are indicated on the map? What does the dark line show?
2. What was the dominant religion of England in 1600? Of Scotland? Of Ireland?
3. What was the main religion of the Ottoman Empire? What major religious group did
the Ottomans come into contact with to the north?
4. What was the dominant religion of Southern Europe in 1600? How was that domi-
nance challenged in some places?
5. What was the main religion of the Scandinavian countries? What about Poland and
Lithuania?
6. Critical Thinking: Place During the 1600s, the Holy Roman Empire—an empire
associated with the Roman Catholic Church—began to fall apart. How does the map
help explain that collapse?
ACTIVITY Choose a European country and find out about the religion or religions
practiced there today. Gather as many details as possible, including percentages of follow-
ers of various faiths. Then compare your findings with what the map shows for your
chosen country in 1600. Report the results of your research in class.

Urbanization
Urban growth increased dramatically around the world in the past 50 years. Much of this
urbanization occurred in poorer nations, but rich nations also experienced rapid urban
growth. The map below shows the increase in urban population by country and the
growth of the largest cities. Study the map, then answer the questions on the following
page.

Holt World Geography Today 12 Map Activities
1. Which countries experienced the greatest urban population growth between 1950
and 2000? How much did their urban population increase?
2. How much did the urban population increase in Japan? In Greece? In Australia?
3. What was the population of Los Angeles in 1950? Of Mexico City in 2000? What is
the projected population of Mumbai in 2015?
4. What was the largest city in the world in 1950? In 2000? Which city is expected to be
the largest in 2015?
5. By what factor did the population of Lagos grow between 1950 and 2000? By what
factor is it projected to grow between 2000 and 2015?
6. Critical Thinking: Regions How does this map support the idea that poorer coun-
tries and regions are urbanizing more quickly than richer ones? What exceptions to
that idea does the map indicate?
ACTIVITY With a classmate, research one of the largest cities in the world, as shown on
the map, and create an illustrated poster about the city. Your poster should provide basic
facts about the city, describe what life is like for city residents, and analyze some of the
effects of rapid urbanization.
