The times in history that Christendom went to war for Christianity were the worst in terms of spreading Christianity's influence. It's largest spreading has been, time after time, accomplished through the opposite of warfare, if anything.

Even if your history teacher wasn't distorting facts, Christianity wouldn't be a religion of violence. Nowhere in the New Testament are followers instructed to spread the faith through violence; the people who tried to do so were jerks who weren't paying enough attention to Scriptures.
