Europe

A map showing Europe and contiguous areas about 1556. At this time, the Ottoman Empire comprised all of the Anatolian peninsula (modern Turkey), the Levant, Egypt, and southeastern Europe up to the Danube River; it also controlled Transylvania, Moldavia, and Walachia and the mediterranean coast of Africa, including Algiers and Tunis. Spain, freed from Ottoman control, was ruled by the Spanish branch of the Habsburgs, as was distant Netherlands and southern Italy. The Austrian Habsburgs dominated much of central Europe, wedged between the Ottoman empire and the Venetian territories in northern Italy.
