THE BUDDHA spent his life to discover the essence of life, salvation from suffering etc.i think Buddha himself did not propagate Buddhism.His followers propagated his preachings in all directions-Buddha's statues and relics in India and it's surroundings ( Afghanistan,Srilanka and in the north east ) indicate this.It may be in later years that caste system dominated in India.

Did You ever heard there is any leader of any Reagen spread his
vision all over the country. Load Buddha never forced to take his
vision. Load Buddha never told " every human in this world definitely need to follow my way".If Load Buddha Done something it was show us what will happens in the future. Load Buddha only need that human need to understand his vision.
No one can say Load Buddha didn't Propagate the vision. In Buddhist history has many proofs that Load Buddha Travel with his student's all over the India. Not only India Load Buddha also came to Sri Lanka & Siyam Desh. This is my advice for You
You Have to research All Buddhist Historical Book to Learn How
Load Buddha Try to Spred His Vision.

during the regime of Buddha there was no religion called buddhism. He preached a few ethics where ever he could go. Those ethics were later gernalised by the mankind. Since they followed ethics laid down by Buddha, they were called buddhists - 'Baudh' to be more precise. later this group was termed to be a member of a religion different from others which we now know as Buddhism. As a matter of fact, Buddha had no idea that his preachings could give rise to a different religion. It's the flaw of the mankind to discrimnate people based on their ethics...

As a matter of fact he didn't propagate Buddhism anywhere. Even the name Buddhism came much later. Buddhism remained as on of the numerous philosophical streams already running in India with Non-Violence and Nirvana as the central idea. This philosophy was new in other places such as China where the concept of a fearful God were prevalent.

Buddha preached daya,ksham and shanti.
it is not easy to propogate or spread any religion by soft or kind words.
people need to be terrorised to accept a faith or religion.look at what Christian and Mohammedans have done to spread their religions.
crusade and jihad are not indian idealogies

All relegions have messenger to propogate. In no relegion, you will find that God came and propogated for people to follow them. So, Buddha was waiting for someone like Ashoka and his clan to propogate.

He wasn't a missionary, besides his understanding spread like wild fire at that time in Asia.
