Тайный совет, флот и шпионы: как маленький город стал морской империей?/ [История по Чёрному]

Today, Venice seems like a postcard city: canals, gondolas, palaces, tourists, and St. Mark's Square. But in the Middle Ages, this city was quite different. Venice didn't have rich fields, a vast army, or the usual feudal support. Instead, it had the sea, a navy, trade routes, and a rare ability to turn others' dependence into profit. In this episode, we explore how the Venetian Republic became one of the most influential forces of the Middle Ages. How did a city on water make its first money? Why did Venice control grain and trade routes? How did its navy become a military conveyor belt? Why did the Republic create a secret police and spy network? How did Venice exploit the Fourth Crusade? Was it true that it was the first mafia? This is the story of a city that controlled routes, prices, rules, and those who tried to play against it.
