Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire held the Muslims at bay in the southeast (Balkans) until the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 1300s and 1400s. In Western Europe, the Frankish Victory by Charles Martel in 732 C.E. at the Battle of Tours (called by the French as the Battle of Poitiers) against the Amazigh and Arab Islamic Forces from Spain, prevented Islam from reaching western and central Europe from the southwest (Iberia).
