As Constantinople was called the "gate of Europe", its capture by the Turks, in 1453, marked the starting point of the Turkish invasion into Europe. To make them more threatening to the European nations, the Turks were Muslims. Later on they extended their rule over the nations which were on their way to Vienna. It took about 150 years until they were forced to retreat and give up almost all the European territories.
