Christendom had not yielded.
With the battle of Malta in 1565 where the Janissaries had been defeated when they dared touch the hawks, and with the naval battle of Lepanto in 1571, the Ottoman Empire ceased.
It learned in the hardest way that it would never dominate in the Mediterranean.

And that night when they spoke for the first time drinking Commandaria and analyzing together the italian game because they had both read the book of Pedro Damiano, they moved on to an innovation of the spanish in honor of Ruy Lopez de Seguira.

Without trying to conquer it, since they know already, being people of the sea due to the people of
Time, who remains free as much as his enemies tried to enslave him, because it is a gift of Humanity.
