Years: 1350 - 1350
The Genoese, soon after provoking a war with Venice in 1350 by seizing their ships off the Genoese colony of Kaffa in the Crimea, capture the key Venetian colony at Negropont (Evvoia, or Euboea) in Greece.
The Venetians hastily form alliances with Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos and King Peter IV of Aragon and wage an indecisive naval battle at the Bosporus.
