The Nestorians spread Christianity all the way across central Asia, reaching China by 635 CE. Political events in China and Mongolia, as well as the rise of Islam, reversed this.

Christianity spread more than any other religion because it became the state religion of the Roman Empire. Because of this, Christianity was enforced throughout Europe, North Africa and much of the Middle East. Eventually, those who refused to be Christian were persecuted, tortured or killed.When Europeans spread out to found colonies in the New World, they took Christianity with them, often spreading it by military force.

Christianity
The church, more specifically the religion of Christianity.
Missionaries have played a significant role in the spread of Christianity throughout history. Their dedication to spreading the message of Christianity, their cultural adaptability, and their ability to connect with people on a personal level have been influential factors. However, it is important to acknowledge that there are other factors, such as colonialism and geopolitical dynamics, that have also played a significant role in the global spread of Christianity.

True Christianity has never been spread by force. Jesus indicated clearly and had the behavior to match that 'my kingdom is not of this world.' Those who use force are using worldly methods to spread a spiritual message and they are Christians in name only. Since true faith is matter of the heart, no amount of force can change a person's heart. Force can produce outward obedience for the sake of peace and because people may comply to avoid being harassed or killed, and may just want to get on with their lives. But inwardly their heart is more likely to be opposed to true faith. Those who spread what they called Christianity by force were thus not spreading true Christianity but a corrupted version, which bears little resemblance to the real thing. Jesus said 'you must be born again' not 'you must submit to our religion or die.'
