Suleiman the Magnificent
The ottoman empire's peak was from 1481-1566, during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent.
The Ottoman Empire at its height controlled territories on three different continents. Africa: Most of North Africa was under Ottoman control including territories from all of the following Modern countries: Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Sudan.(Morocco was intentionally not conquered but the Ottoman Empire exerted a strong cultural influence over the independent country). Europe: The Ottoman Empire controlled the entire Balkans region (Yugoslav States, Albania, and Greece) except for some of the Dalmatian Coast (part of Modern Croatia) and parts of Greece which were under Venetian Control. In addition they controlled the entirety of what is now Bulgaria, Hungary, and parts of Romania. In addition they established dependent protectorates in Wallachia (part of Modern Romania). Asia: The Ottoman Empire controlled the Levant (Modern Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan), Mesopotamia (Modern Iraq) the Western Arabian Coast (part of Modern Saudi Arabia which includes Mecca and Medina), and of course Anatolia and the Caucasus (modern day Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Note: This list is not exhaustive as there are other modern countries which had some occupation by the Ottoman Empire, but those territories make up less than 10% of the modern countries' land areas.
Suleyman the second. He also gained the nickname "Suleyman the Lawgiver" by his own people. He was know as "Suleyman the Magnificent" in th West. This title was a tribute to the splendor of his court and to his cultural achievements.
Vienna is the capital city of Austria. During the medieval era of Europe, the Ottoman Empire was a very large and powerful country in the Middle East, and was difficult for the European countries to stop. In 1453 the Ottomans conquered the city of Constantinople and officially ended the Roman Empire. In less than 100 years, they had conquered the entire region known as the Balkans, right up to Vienna. So Vienna, in a way, marked the border between the Ottoman Empire and the rest of western Europe. In 1529 the Ottoman Empire made a major effort to conquer Vienna but failed, and historians generally consider that battle to have been the peak of their empire- they never again would be as powerful as they were up to that point. Again, in 1683, allied armies from Poland and Germany fought the Ottomans against near Vienna, defeating them and ushering in the long decline of the Ottoman Empire, which would ultimately end with the empire being dismantled after World War I. During World War I, Austria and the Ottoman Empire were allies as part of the "Central Powers" along with Germany and Bulgaria. They fought together against the Allies (England, France, Russia until 1917, USA starting in 1917, and so on).
