At it's height the Ottoman Empire stretched from east of the Straits of Gibraltar across North Africa, down both shores of the Arabian Peninsula, into western Asia and far up into southeastern Europe.

European expansion of the Ottoman Empire was finally halted when Don Juan de Austria, son of Carlos V, Holy Roman Emperor, defeated the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.
