Summary
Venice, once a powerful maritime republic, rose from humble origins to dominate trade and naval power in the Mediterranean. Its strategic location and political savvy led to immense wealth, but rivalry with Genoa and the Ottoman threat weakened it. By the 18th century, Venice became stagnant, eventually falling to Napoleon, marking the end of its independence.
