First, we should define "Christian Persecution". What is happening in the United States, Canada, and Europe, where Christians do not get their way politically in every case, e.g. abortion is legal, divorce is legal, more people are leaving Christianity, etc. is NOT persecution. Persecution is when the lives or livelihoods of people are severely threatened or such people face legal hardships because they are Christians. There is persecution of Christians in North Korea, persecution specifically of Catholics in China, and persecution of Christians in general throughout the Islamic World, but especially in Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
P.S. It is not happening "worldwide".

The persecution of early christians happened first during the time of Emperor Nero,Emperor Hadrian,Decius and the last greatest persecution was the time of Emperor Diocletian.
it when people are killed or put into prison for expressing their belief in God.
This is for you to decide. Did repression work? Why did Galerius, who was the main instigator of Diocletian's Great Persecution, decreed the end of this persecution seven years later? Why did he do so for peace and security in the empire? Why was it only the Christian religion which was persecuted? What were the benefits of the Romans' policy of tolerance of the religions of the conquered peoples? Note that Christianity was not always persecuted. There were periods of tolerance and periods of persecution.
