By the time of Constantine's long reign as emperor, 'Christians' comprised about one-half the population of the Roman Empire. The Empire was in decline, and it was under attack from 'barbarians' of territories in northern and Western Europe. Constantine was clever enough to realize that he needed to include this enormous group so as to strengthen his and the Empire's position. Even this decision was not sufficient, however, so later he moved the seat of the Empire from Rome to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). Eventually, Rome itself was besieged (as Constantine anticipated); and, later still, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks.

A:Legalising Christianity meant that there could never be another Great Persecution of Christians as there had been under Emperor Diocletian, and more briefly under Emperors Decius and Valerian. However, what was far more important to the advance of Christianity was making the ancient pagan religions illegal towards the end of the fourth century.
In its early years, Christianity spread slowly from Judea to other parts of the Roman Empire. By the time of Emperor Constantine, at the beginning of the fourth century, it is estimated that around ten percent of the population of the empire were Christians. Final conversion of the citizens of the empire to Christianity resulted from imperial decree, rather than 'conversion' as we normally use the term. Towards the end of the fourth century, Christianity was decreed to be the state religion. The orthodox-catholic Christian Church was given the power to confiscate the temples and all temple property belonging to pagans and Mithraists, and to enforce conversion to orthodox-catholic Christianity. So conversion to Christianity should be seen in empire-wide terms, rather than a country by country mission.
The Greeks gradually adopted Christianity due to a combination of factors, including the appeal of its teachings of hope, salvation, and community, which resonated with many in a society experiencing political and social upheaval. The conversion was also facilitated by the efforts of missionaries, such as the Apostle Paul, and the eventual endorsement of the religion by the Roman Empire, particularly after Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 AD. Additionally, the decline of traditional pagan practices and the desire for a unified belief system contributed to the shift towards Christianity.
The main reason for the Vikings ceasing their raids in Europe was the conversion of many Vikings to Christianity, which led to a shift in their values and priorities away from raiding and towards peaceful settlement and trade.
