In addition to what others have said here, there are also less violent means. For example, with colonization the most powerful/wealthy people are the colonizers. If you want to curry favor with them in hopes that they reward you with offices, contracts, or other rewards, you may feel it helps to generally mimic them. So you adopt their religion, their language etc. Or you may find that government officials treat you better if you practice the colonizer’s religion. Being similar to colonizers generally makes life under their boot easier even when it’s not as simple or violent as “convert or die”
