Did Protestants, after the Reformation, use large-scale violence to convert differing groups in a manner similar to The Crusades?

by Teaandabook

I don't mean as a part of a whole, let's say in converting Native Americans, unless they had a widespread plan to do so. Because I seem to have read that many types of people came to America from all over Europe with many differing beliefs, or even no beliefs. So instead, I'm wondering if Protestant Christians committed large scale, organized violence in the name of God or Jesus Christ?

Thank you in advance for any help or insights you may have. And although I read both the FAQ and the rules, if I am in error, please forgive me as this is my very first question here.

I'm not sure the context of your question. Are you aware of the religious wars in France and Germany, also known as the Thirty Years' War, that saw widespread destruction and violence by all sides of the conflict? Or the Dutch rebellion, known as the Eighty Years' War?
