Muslin armies gain control of Eastern Europe during the time of the Ottoman Empire. The areas of Bulgaria, Romania and Yugoslavia were under the control of the automatic Empire.
The medieval empire in central Europe was the Holy Roman Empire.
The Persians reached their peak during the Achaemenid Empire, particularly under the rule of Darius I and Xerxes I in the 5th century BCE. This period marked the empire's expansion to its greatest territorial extent, encompassing parts of three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. The empire was known for its administrative sophistication, infrastructure, and cultural achievements, making it one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world.

The westernmost country historically ruled by Persia is Turkey. During the Achaemenid Empire, parts of what is now western Turkey were incorporated into the Persian Empire. Specifically, regions like Lydia and Phrygia were under Persian control, particularly during the reign of Cyrus the Great and Darius I. The influence of Persian rule extended into various parts of Anatolia, which is in modern-day Turkey.
The Persian Empire was larger than the Greek Empire at its height. The Persian Empire, particularly during the Achaemenid dynasty, spanned three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—encompassing a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and beyond. In contrast, the Greek Empire, primarily associated with city-states like Athens and Sparta, was more fragmented and did not achieve the same territorial expanse as Persia. Thus, in terms of land area and influence, the Persian Empire was significantly bigger.
During its height, the Byzantine Empire did not control parts of Western Europe, including regions such as France, Spain, and the British Isles. It also lacked control over territories in North Africa, much of the Italian Peninsula, and the majority of the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally, the Byzantine Empire struggled to maintain dominance in the eastern Mediterranean against rising powers like the Seljuk Turks and later the Ottoman Turks.

Spain never regained control of the Holy Roman Empire, as it was never under Spanish control in the first place. The Holy Roman Empire was a multi-ethnic complex of territories in central Europe that existed from 800 to 1806, and its emperors were often from various Germanic states. Spain was a powerful kingdom during the empire's existence, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries, but it was distinct and separate from the Holy Roman Empire.
It continued until the empire was taken over by Alexander the Great who attempted to introduce Greek culture. Later empires allowed local customs and governance, but this was disrupted by wars and takeovers by invasions and wars.
