Leaked cables: Turkey wants "to take back Andalusia, avenge defeat at the siege of Vienna"
2010-11-29
The defeat of the Ottomans by Polish forces on 11. September, 1683, relieving the second Ottoman siege of Vienna, marked the end of Muslim attempts to conquer Europe until the current period.

Would it have been any less accurate if the cable had said that Europe wanted to give back Andalusia and reverse the results of the siege of Vienna?
