A:More than anything, the spread of Christianity can be attributed to the success of the Roman Empire, with the enforced conversion of pagans to Christianity throughout the empire, then the success of the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne, the forced conversion of Russia to Christianity and finally the spread of colonialism to the New World.
Constantine
Islam and Christianity.
The Roman Empire made Christianity the official religion of the Empire, and 'encouraged' the peoples it conquered to convert.
More than anyone before him, Emperor Constantine spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. True, Christianity was already well established, especially in the Greek-speaking east, long before the fourth century, but Constantine gave the religion state patronage, offered career preferment to those who claimed to be Christians, and began the long persecution of the pagan temples. From this time, and with this impetus, Christianity spread quickly in the Roman Empire.

The Pax Romana did not promote the spread of Christianity. It was a period of relative political stability in the empire and was not connected to religion. At the end of this period, Christianity was still a small religion with a limited following.
