I don't know why. But historians generally agree that Lepanto was the beginning of the decline of Moslem power in Eastern Europe. Had the Moslems (Turks) won that battle, then the Ottoman Empire would have been supreme and it could have expanded further west. Call it what you will, but Lepanto was a decisive battle. It showed for the first time the Turks were not invincible. The Turks were so tough and strong that Hungary had to take about 150 years to expel them for good. I have often wondered why many Hungarians said that lamb was "dirty" meat. I now think it was because the Turks that had occupied their country were fond not only of lamb meat but lambs as well. <ggg> Ask Lorne for more info on lambs.
