Explanation
Answer - A - The seize of Belgrade in 1521 marked the high point-and, subsequently, the end-of the Ottoman advance into Europe.
Key Takeaway: In 1521, the fort at Belgrade was captured by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his 250,000 soldiers. They razed most of the city to the ground and deported its entire Christian population to the area known as the Belgrade forest. Belgrade was made the seat of the district. The city swiftly became the second largest Ottoman town in Europe, surpassed only by Constantinople.
