There are many religions in the world. By the sixteenth century, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam became three major religions. The quick pace and wide extent of thespread of these religions contributed the most to their evolution as major religions Each religion sent missionaries to other countries that were outside their places of origin, imposed customs, and built religious center such as churches and mosques. Moreover, the influence of strong empires or monarchs played a crucial role in spreading the religion.

Thousands of immigrants have contributed to a better life for the whole population and without immigrant workers the NHS and the transport system would not work. By the 1970s the NHS relied on a huge staff of porters, cleaners, nurses, doctors, surgeons and a large proportion were either immigrants or had immigrant roots. Ironically Enoch Powell when he was the Health Minister in the early 1960s led a recruitment campaign for 18,000 Indian doctors which made today’s NHS possible. Today over 1/3 of all doctors in the NHS were born overseas, many from the Indian subcontinent. London transport and London underground have also relied on immigrant workers, and recruits from overseas also play an important role in Britain’s armed forces, especially the army.

Immigration Change Over the Years Immigration is a serious and important part of history in the United States. First prior to the late nineteenth century the immigration policies were very easygoing. Most of the Europeans were taking in, only 2% of arrivals at Ellis Island were sent away, some were band for being criminals, mentally unstable, and communist. Most of that 2% were rejected for health reasons. Despite having to pick up their life and leave, the immigrants came in by millions to the United States in the late 19th century and 21st century to build better lives for their families economically, religiously, and educationally.
