What was Europe like after Christianity?
Christianity did not become widespread popular until the Roman Empire adopted the religion. It quickly became the largest religion in Europe. Christianity calls upon its followers to spread the religion to others. This led to forced converting and prosecution against non-Christians, most notably Muslims and Jews. Christianity has also experienced two major splits. The first came in 1054 when the religion split into two major branches: Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The next split came in 1517 and the third major branch, Protestantism, was formed. Western and Southern Europe remained predominately Catholic, Eastern Europe predominately Orthodox, and Northern Europe predominately Protestant. Differences in religion led to wars as well.
