In their colonies and across the globe, the British made this happen with the utmost devotion to preaching.

Charles William Miller was one of the football missionaries. At the beginning of the 1890s, he traveled across Brazil with a soccer ball and an exact copy of the rules, and the game took off in a blaze.
