message: The article topic is valid indeed, but the focus on French and Portuguese colonialism is arbitrary to the point of ridicule.
This notion played a central role in all of colonialism, and beyond.
Search for "civilizing mission", "civilisatory mission" and "mission civilisatrice" on google books and you find references covering all of colonialism, from the 17th to the 20t century, as well as references to Zionism, Marxism, and post-WWII Umerziehung as well as American imperialism. --dab (𒁳) 10:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Unheard of in Portugal ... it's a pure FRENCH problem.
Why does this article cover 1/2 the portuguese history instead of the subject in the title... viewed in the francophone idolatry point of view ??? 
The Portuguese Colonial War began in Portuguese Angola on 4 February 1961, in an area called the Zona Sublevada do Norte 
No it didn't ... it started in european Portugal with a failed coup de etat atempt ... in fact it was a large scale (french intelectual influenced ?) atempt to reclaim ALL portuguese possessions in early 1961. 
About the rest ... why not just quote the entire western civilization ??? since in portugal we were "civilized" by the Greek , phoenician , celtic , romans and such. Sotavento (talk) 12:13, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The term "civilizing mission" isn't really associated with Britain. I guess a short paragraph might make sense though. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

message: "The intellectual origins of the mission civilisatrice can be traced back the Christian tradition dating from the Middle Ages." This statement is unexplained and unsupported by evidence (as well as ungrammatical).  Deipnosophista (talk) 18:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

message: There is a lack of information about Native Americans and the ways they were subject to the civilizing mission. There can be a connection made between the civilizing mission and the American Indian boarding schools established (beginning in 1887) throughout the United States that were meant to assimilate American Indian children according to US cultural standards and values. These schools were often funded by the federal government and worked to, in a more direct sense, strip away Native Americans' tribal culture in order to be able to "civilize" them. I think this approach to "civilize" the Native American people through education is significant enough to be included on the page and should be further researched.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danilo 22 (talk • contribs) 04:37, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Note from Eric: Moved this anonymous post from my talkpage to here, changed the original section heading ("What's wrong in stating that the Civilizing mission took place in the fifteenth century or affirm that there are contemporary affirmations related to the civilizing mission?") to the above.
What's wrong in stating that the Missão civilizadora took place in the fifteenth century or affirm that there are contemporary affirmations related to the civilizing mission?

message: to discuss the fact that Civilizing mission is a euphemism for committing genocide against indigenous peoples, and more and more literature is being written to rewrite the Euro-centric (or otherwise colonizer-centric) history to reflect a more modern position.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapmaker345 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
