Due to its privileged geographical placement, just between the Danube River river and the The Alps that descend calmly to the mounts called Wienerwald. The Austrian working capital was through its dynamical history a very of import factor to take into business relationship for the hereafter of the whole existent Europe.

The fact that it was placed in the intersection of the great paths between Occidental and Asian Europe, soon made Austrian Capital go the bosom of Europe. But the procedure to attain that aim was far from easy, as history explains. In their attempts to procure their lands and the Mediterranean Sea sea against the Northern invaders, the romans, under Gaius Octavianus emperor, occupied this privileged zone between the The Alps and the Danube.

In its origin, they established simply a soldiers encampment base, the strongest they had in Austria, adjacent to the place that the existent Austrian Capital occupies, and later it became working capital of the part during nearly 400 years. Some old age later, in Claudius I time, Limes was built at the east, as an advanced defensive attitude topographic point to command the border. Also, as a lateral pass defence of the cardinal camp, some other troop encampments were built in what today is the Third District of Vienna.

At same time, even if it was burnt down once in the early years, the existent metropolis was never conquered again and even resisted the conflict against the Turkish military personnel between 1529 and 1683.

This warfare alone can be understood as many others that happened on that period, but it really had a particular significance for the whole Europe, as in that time time period the whole strength of Europe was brought there. If Austrian Capital would have got got not resisted, almost certainly the whole Occidental civilisation would have been destroyed.
