An Islamic History Of Europe Details
Between 1354 (when the Ottomans crossed into Europe at Gallipolli)
and 1526, the Empire had conquered the territory of present day Greece,
Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and
Hungary. The Empire laid siege to Vienna
in 1683. The intervention of the Polish King broke the siege, and from
then afterwards the Ottomans battled the Habsburg Emperors until 1699,
when the Treaty of Karlowitz
forced them to surrender Hungary, Croatia, and portions of present day
Slovenia and Serbia. From 1699 to 1913, wars and insurrections pushed
the Ottoman Empire further back until it reached the current European
border of present-day Turkey.For most of this period, the Ottoman retreats were accompanied by Muslim refugees from these province (in almost all cases converts from the previous subject populations), leaving few Muslim inhabitants in Hungary, Croatia, and the Transylvania region of present day Romania. Bulgaria remained under Ottoman rule until around 1878, and currently its population includes about 131,000 Muslims (2001 Census) (see Pomaks).
