Forced diffusion is often a sad one to talk about regarding its history, yet its an important one to learn about. How this diffusion works is that a higher power ( not like god ) enforces a specific culture or tradition onto others less powerful.

( 3.5 ) A quite sad example of this would be Canada in the 1600s, during this time a whole program of conversion begun. Many Natives in that land would be forcibly baptized and converted to Christian faith whereafter they would then be converted into white people. A not so fun fact regarding forced diffusion would be the true story of Pocahontas where in 1616 she was actually taken to Europe where she was seen as a novelty and forced to become christian.

The gist of this type of diffusion is that someone carrying some type of culture or knowledge either relocating by chance, force or want, they in turn spread their knowledge to the people in this new place/ area.

( 3.5 ) An historical cause of this would be something like the Jewish population of Egypt Known as the Jewish exodus from the Muslim world was a situation in 1956 where a lot of Jewish citizens were forced to sign documents saying they wanted to leave when they really didn't and also giving ownership of all of their belongings to the governments

Hierarchical diffusion is a very well known and big reason for a lot of diffusion throughout history. How it works is for knowledge or habit of something that is passed on to what would considered to be a lesser person or less knowledgeable person.
