In the third volume of his eleven volume series, "Caesar and Christ" he mentions that during the time when Constantine was fighting to become sole emperor, Rome conquered Mesopotamia as far east as past the Tigris. Soon after Constantine forced Christianity on the Roman Empire....which for a time included ancient Assyria. From 333 AD until the Arabs came some 300 years later, Mesopotamia was under Roman Christian rule...and we know that the Romans forced even their own people of Italy to adopt Christianity....the entire reason for adopting Christianity was that Constantine believed a single religion , however imposed, would, in a few generations, bring unity and peace..as far as religion was concerned.

In that time also the "Assyrians" and everyone else, including Armenians, were FORCIBLY converted to Christ...sure, the Church has no record of it and instead invented all the fables about a bare foot monk walking down the road and converting people....never happened. It was done by force...by making any pagan worship, including the old religion of the Romans, punishable by death...closing all temples and reducing pagan priests to poverty or jailing them. Likewise sending gobs of money to the new Christian priests, building churches and ordering people to attend...it would only take a few generations of children born into the Church to believe whatever the Church told them...much as we see African Americans and natives of Latin America believing, today, whatever the Church tells them about how Christianity was "spread" among their ancestors.

That's how Christianity "spread". Later they rewrote the history...except it's still there if you care to actually learn what actually happened.
