The History of Jihad against the Poles, Lithuanians, Belarusians and Ukrainians (1444 -1699) :: Islam Watch
The valiant saga of how the Poles Lithuanians, Belarusians and Ukrainians delivered stunning defeats to the Turkish Jihadis and under Jan Sobieski tamed the Ottoman Turkish wild beasts outside the walls of Vienna to ultimately drive them out of Central Europe
----
When the Ottomans occupied most of Anatolia (modern Turkey) they found that their way into Europe was blocked by the surviving rump of the Byzantine empire, that held fast to their capital Constantinople - the gateway into Europe. For invading Europe, the Ottomans needed to overrun Constantinople, but that was easier dreamt than done due to the stubborn resistance put up by the Byzantines to defend their capital. To circumvent this obstinate resistance at Constantinople, the Ottomans devised a rearguard action and started their forays into Eastern Europe.
