Proselytizing, while not a central Buddhist tenant, was something that Buddhists participated in, especially rulers of Buddhist empires such as Ashoka. It's not even a uniquely Christian concept as Muslim and Baha'is (both also having Abrahamic roots) also endeavour to spread their faith and win converts. It's part of human nature to want others to adopt our ideas and world views, for personal reasons, for political reasons, for economic reasons. After all, Cultural Imperialism is a not modern phenomenon.
