Barbarossa defeats an imperial-Venetian fleet under Doria …
Years: 1538 - 1538
Barbarossa defeats an imperial-Venetian fleet under Doria at the Battle of Preveza off the Albanian coast on September 27, 1538, thereby giving to the Ottomans the naval initiative in the Mediterranean.
It is widely speculated that Doria’s prevarication and lack of zeal were due to his unwillingness to risk his own ships (he personally owns a substantial number of the "Spanish-Genoese" fleet) and his long-standing enmity towards Venice, his home city's fierce rival and the primary target of Ottoman aggression at this time.
Venice surrenders Dalmatia and the Morea, its last possession in the Aegean, thus assuring an Ottoman naval supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean that will remain unbroken for three decades.
