Venice left a strong influence in southern Greece and Greek islands:
1) 890 words. Greek language has 2.500-3000 Italian words (the most words coming from a foreign language), 890 of them being venetian
2) great influence in architecture. If you ever visit nafplio, monemvasia, preveza, Chania mesolonghi, corfu etc you will see what i am talking about
3) cuisine: Greece is the only country second to Italy with a heavy native pasta tradition, meanwhile Greece has the second heaviest pasta consumption in the world after Italy itself. If course that is not visible in touristic areas and thats because people associate pasta with Italy only, so Greece never promoted its traditional pasta.
4) music: major influences can be found in the ionian islands, but minor also in Crete and aegean music, as well as in western Peloponnese

RIP one of the most epic republics in history

[LordMyron]

The funny part to me is that it's technically one of the longest running republics to ever exist (although it's legitimacy as a true representation of the people is debatable, to say the least). To say that a nation existed as an independent political unit outside of major imperial capital regions for a thousand years is something truly of note.

[CostasMelas]

One of the biggest sea powers in the history. This state was the greatest opponent of the Ottoman expansion in the Balkans and the East Mediterranean.

The next video will be a bit different from what I've ever done until today.

Great Britain: *I am The First Maritime Colonial and Economical Empire.*
Netherlands/Dutch: *Well, I AM FIRST.*
Venice: _Amateurs._
GB, N: *WHAT WAS THAT, PUNK?!*
The Republic of Venice: **AMATEURS!**

Venice alone was so strong that managed to stand up to the armies of the strongest monarchies in Europe (even including the empire) and to come out head-on to then rival the Ottomans themselves in the domain of the sea for over 2 centuries. Imagine an Italy united by Venice in XV century like France, Spain, Portugal and England: no one would ever think of facing this superpower. This Italy would have the triple of the resources of Spanish, French and Imperial all put together and it would have put the Ottomans in serious difficulties in dominating the Mediterranean. It would have been the strongest state of Europe !!!

You forgot to put Venice underwater for this year.

I didn't quite realize how many of the Aegean islands Venice actually controlled, and for so long. It's incredible Venice held Crete until the mid-1600s.

Once Venice was the master of the seas.

In 1038 Saint Stephen of Hungary died. His sister was the wife of the Doge of Venice, and Stephen named her son Peter Orseolo as his heir (since his own sons had died before him). Therefore the second king of Hungary was actually half Venetian. Peter had a hard time reigning, he was probably killed in 1046. He was buried in the cathedral of Pécs, however the location of his grave is unknown.

Dutch: *We Took Land From the Sea.*
Venice: *Is It Possible to learn this power??*

[historyinbrief]

Great work!!! Venice was a huge Trade Empire, which lasted for more than 1.000 years...

[wsm]

Actually, as a venetian motherlanguage, the correct name is "Repùblega de Venèçia" or "Repùblega Vèneta"

[pnkcnlng]

I love the fact that you didn't use Italian but the real language of that land, Venetian!

[royaljanissary]

I can't believe, once America and Venice exist at the same time

[fracassonel]

Extraordinario como este pequeño estado duró 1100 años y pudo enfrentar a superpotencias como españa, los imperios bizantino y otomano, francia, el papado etc....aparte de su tradicional rivalidad con genova....ademas fué tal vez la primera ciudad industrial de europa
