Ottoman Empire conquest creates direct border with Republic of Venice through Saint Sava duchy.

In 1485, when the Ottoman Empire conquered the Duchy of Saint Sava in Croatia, it marked a significant shift in the region's power dynamics. This conquest resulted in Croatia sharing a direct border with the Republic of Venice, a powerful maritime state at the time. The fall of the Duchy of Saint Sava not only altered the territorial boundaries but also had far-reaching consequences on trade, politics, and culture in the area. The event symbolized the ongoing struggles for control and influence in the region between powerful empires and city-states. This moment in Croatian history underscores the constant threat of invasion and the complex geopolitical landscape of the time. #CroatianHistory #OttomanEmpire #RepublicofVenice #PowerStruggles
