Muslims historically controlled significant parts of Southern Europe, particularly in regions such as the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) and parts of the Balkans, including areas of the modern-day Mediterranean region. They were largely defeated in the Iberian Peninsula during the Reconquista, culminating in 1492 with the fall of Granada. In the Balkans, they faced setbacks from various Christian coalitions, most notably the defeat at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 and the eventual decline of Ottoman control in the region during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
