Years: 1511 - 1511

The Mamluks again attempt to secure the help of the Venetians against the Portuguese, and they do intervene by pleading their case with the Pope.

The Venetians, who have been at peace with the Ottomans since the signature of the 1503 peace treaty by Andrea Gritti after the Ottoman–Venetian War, have continued to secure peace with the Ottomans.

They renew their treaty in 1511, leading them to encourage the Ottomans to participate on the Mamluk side in the conflict against the Portuguese.

The rapprochement is such that Venice authorizes Ottoman provisioning in its Mediterranean ports, such as Cyprus.

Venice also requests Ottoman support in the War of the League of Cambrai, but in vain.
