  abstract = {{T}he partition of {G}erman {T}ogoland after {W}orld {W}ar {I} provides a natural experiment to test the impact of {B}ritish and {F}rench colonization. {U}sing data of recruits to the {G}hanaian colonial army 1908-1955, we find that literacy and religious affiliation diverge at the border between the parts of {T}ogoland under {B}ritish and {F}rench control as early as in the 1920s. {W}e partly attribute this to policies towards missionary schools. {T}he divergence is only visible in the {S}outh where educational and evangelization efforts were strong. {C}ontemporary survey data show that border effects that began in colonial times still persist today.},
