The Slavs were not the last tribes of Europeans that accepted Christianity. Actually this process began in the VIII century in the south, and by the year 1000 all Slavic rulers were baptized. The last to be christened were Lithuanians, which happened gradually in the XIV century, and was fulfilled by the baptizing of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila who became the king of Poland and established the Polish Lithuanian Union. The pesants, however resisted christianization in a long time, as was also the case of Celtic and Germanic tribes.

You forgot to mention about the crusades against the Slavs, starting with the Venedian campaign of 1147. Then the pagan Slavs, who lived from the coast of modern Denmark to Prussia and on the Baltic islands, were destroyed or fled or were assimilated by the Germans. No fewer crusaders took part in these campaigns than in the Middle East.

Note: When I say "Westward into Russia and Eastward into Poland"it should be understood as "Western Russia and Eastern Poland" - just one of those slip ups.
