Both the Catholic Church and the Gunpowder empires between 1450 and 1750 had difficulties teaching their religion in the territories they conquered.
The Gunpowder empires were composed of three main Islamic empires:
These empires developed in territories of Europe, Africa, and Asia, and were especially strong between the 16th and 18th centuries.
One way the Gunpowder empires became stronger was by conquering new territories and imposing their culture including religion to the populations conquered. This was not an easy task as the population resisted adopting Islam as their religion.
Similarly, new populations conquered by the Catholic Church such as those in the Americas resisted converting to Catholicism. This led to conflicts between conquerors and natives as well as violence.
Based on this, one similarity between the Catholic Church and the Gunpowder empires was the challenges to impose their religion in new territories.
