Was it when Muslims and Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492.
Yes there have been more recent forced conversions to Christianity, however, lets just look at last 5 years.
Weigh the numbers forced into Islam, killed, or displaced for being Christians, againt Muslims being harmed other way.
This isnt a hypothetical question. An entire nation of many Christian people have been informed to convert or....

Romans did it to the Jews...Christians did it to the Jews...What goes around always comes around...
The Imperial Tax Register of 1241 was the first register to include taxes on the Jews. The total of the taxes on the Jews listed in the Register amounted to 857 silver marks; the total contribution of all the cities together amounted to 4.290 silver marks. These local taxes served wholly or in part to finance town-building. Not all of the contributions reached the central administration. In contrast, it is clear from the Register that the payments made by the Jews reached the Exchequer in their entirety.[3] The taxes on the Jews were first described as the ’’Jewish Tax’’ in 1330.[4]
The Opferfennig (originally Guldenpfennig) tax was introduced in 1342 by Emperor Louis IV the Bavarian, who ordered all Jews above the age of 12 and possessing 20 gulden to pay one gulden annually for protection. The practice was justified on the grounds that the emperor, as the legal successor of the Roman emperors, was the rightful recipient of the Temple tax which Jews paid to the Romans after the destruction of the Second Temple. The Opferpfennig was collected on Christmas day.
Emperor Charles IV later ordered the income of the Opferfennig tax to be delivered to the archbishop of Triers. This tax was at some places replaced by an overall communal tax.[5] - wiki-pedia
