They only tried to convert the Africans and Asia after 1400s
Ethopia was a Christian country long before the age of european colonization. Africa, as a contingent, started to embrace Christianity in significant numbers from the 19th century, which by then, most of the really violent military conquests were over. I don't recall european armies destroying native african cities, slaughtering their civilians, carting away thousands of women and children as slaves. This was routine human rights abuses for asiatic and moslem armies from ancient to pre-modern days.
Even after conversion to Christianity, the native africans didn't start Crusades. In contrast, when natives converted to islam, they almost immediately took up jihad against their neighbours who aren't moslem. Most of the problems in Africa today are religious conflicts involving moslems against other african groups that are presented as land or water squabbles to appear politically correct.
Other than the Philippines in Asia, I don't recall any asiatic country embracing Christianity by militarized conversions. South Korea perhaps? But that's done by missionaries. South Korea has a long history of being a victim of imperialism rather than being an imperialist. Philippines today has a problem dealing with terrorism because the spanish didn't complete their conquest of the philippines islands. Should I blame this on the chinks? They seem to be the jews of ASEAN.
