"As soon as Christianity was legal" Not exactly. First there was Emperor Julian who tried to bring back persecution of Christians. The religion then viewed the pagan cults as an existential threat. The vast majority of Europeans converted peacefully and voluntarily. "Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered." How did they get to Belgrade? Oh yeah, they invaded. 16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish" Ireland had long been Christian, converting peacefully centuries before this.
