"Ottoman-Habsburg Wars" by Alexander Stoyanov describes one of the largest confrontations in the history of Europe - a true clash of titans that changes the future of the continent. The confrontation between the two empires is not just a military conflict, it is a clash of value systems and even civilizations. The Habsburgs are considered the defenders of European cultural traditions and Christianity. Their struggle is not simply for territory, but for the imposition of a model built in Europe over a millennium. For its part, the Ottoman Empire was the emanation of Islamic development, and for them, fighting the infidels was a religious and civilizational duty. Controlled vast territories on three continents and alone in the history of Islam controlled all the key cities to which the Crescent aspired – Constantinople, Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina. For centuries, the struggle for supremacy between the two empires would shake the Old World, and the consequences of the conflict can be traced even to modern Europe
