Which famous battle stopped the tide of the Islamic Empire advancing through all of Europe?

Answer 1

It depends on which "Muslim Invasion" the question refers to. If it refers to the Amazigh (Berber) invasions of Iberia and France in the 700s, the Battle of Tours/Poitiers in 732 C.E. was responsible for the halting of that conquest. If it refers to the Ottoman Invasions of the Balkans and Central Europe, the Battle/Siege of Vienna of 1526 was resposible for stopping the Ottomans.

Answer 2

The Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped by Charles Martel in the famous Battle of Poitiers also known as Battle of Tours on October 10, 732.

This battle was the turning point of 23 years of Muslim imperialist agression and considered the decisive historical event in the struggle against Islam and the preservation of Europe.

Charles was nicknamed "The Hammer" for his glorious defeat of the invaders. Umayyad Caliphate leader Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi was slain in the battle and his forces where driven back to the south to over the Pyrenees.

Though there where subsequent Muslim invasions and several battles Muslim forces where confined to Iberia (Spain) which the invaders continued to occupy for several centuries.

In 1236 with the fall of Córdoba, the Emirate of Granada remained the only Muslim-ruled territory and finally on January 2, 1492, Emir Muhammad XII surrendered the last Muslim occupied territory to Queen Isabella I of Castile.
