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).
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.
Catherine the Great seized parts of Poland in 1772, 1793 and in 1795. She also seized the Crimea and other lands from the Ottoman Empire, now Turkey.
After World War I, the German, Austrian, Ottoman, and Russian Empires were destroyed. Germany's Kaiser was deposed and it lost some of its eastern territory to Poland. Austria broke apart due to internal political struggles. The Ottoman Empire's territory was taken from it by England and France. Russia's emperor was killed in the Russian Revolution and the country was transformed into the Soviet Union.
Constantinople was seen as a bulwark against an Islamic conquest of Europe. Its fall to the Ottomans meant that the Ottomans would soon conquer the Balkans and pose a direct threat to major Central and Eastern European States such as Russia, Poland, and the Austrian Empire.
Was the Ottoman Empire!!
Poland ceased to exist, the Holy Roman Empire declined because of the thirty years war, and Sweden (not 100% sure, is this central Europe?) Also, the Ottoman Empire experienced a great decline as the "sick man" of Europe.
Russia Empire (including Congress Poland), Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Ottoman Empire. And barely Sweden and Norway.
The formation of the states of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and the states in the Balkins from the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire among others in Europe. The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire resulted in the British control of the middle east, with the formation of Iran and Iraq.

Poland is one of such.

Poland
After World War I, the German, Austrian, Ottoman, and Russian Empires were destroyed. Germany's Kaiser was deposed and it lost some of its eastern territory to Poland. Austria broke apart due to internal political struggles. The Ottoman Empire's territory was taken from it by England and France. Russia's emperor was killed in the Russian Revolution and the country was transformed into the Soviet Union.
Czec Republic, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Yugoslavia, Slovakia, and Turkey were created. Austria-Hungary, Czechoslavakia, the Ottoman Empire, and Serbia were broken up into new countries. This information is incorrect. Austria-Hungary broke apart after WW1 as did the Ottoman Empire. Poland, Latvia, Estonia, etc were all created after WW1. I believe the answer is almost entirely about the end of WW1 and not WW2 like the question states.
Over the centuries many countries have declared war on Spain, or wanted to. France, Portugal, England, Ottoman Empire, Italy, Germany, Spain (civil war), Poland, Austria etc.
