First off, Western Europe was busy fighting amongst itself vice the more united Ottoman Empire. I doubt any one power could have outright defeated the Ottomans before the late 19th century. ANd also because in the 18th and 19th century there was a thousand miles of Muslim Ottoman lands between Istanbul and Vienna. Why would the Western Europeans what to deal with that?
