概要

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the Republic of Venice. My main historical passion is cross-cultural interactions in the Mediterranean, and few cities have been as prominent as Venice on this front, so I'm really excited for this one. If you enjoy the episode, feel free to follow and rate the podcast!

Key Dates:

697 - Supposed election of the first Doge of Venice

1082 - The Republic obtains important trading privileges in Byzantine ports

1204 - Fourth Crusade, Venice makes major territorial gains in the Eastern Mediterranean

1403 - The Venetians decisively defeat their rivals the Genoese

1669 - Crete, the jewel in the Venetian Empire, is lost to the Ottomans

1797 - The Republic is dissolved by Napoleon Bonaparte

If you want to dig deeper, my favourite book on the topic is 'Venice: The Hinge of Europe, 1081-1797 ' by William H. McNeill.
