Turkish fear

Turkish fear or the Turkish scare is a popular expression in historiography to signify fatalistic and apocalyptic societal sentiments in Central Europe, and especially in Italy and Germany, after the Conquest of Constantinople, and especially in the 16th-17th centuries during the peak of the Ottoman Empire between the two Battles of Mohács - in 1526 and 1687 and the two Battles of Vienna - to the very end of the so-called Great Turkish War.
