The First Ottoman-Venetian War ran from 1463 to 1479 between the Republic of Venice with its allies and the Ottoman Empire, fought shortly after the Ottoman capture of Constantinople. Hostilities followed the Ottoman seizure of the Venetian-held town of Argos in April 1463, and Venice declared war in July after urging from the papal legate Cardinal Bessarion. Pope Pius II tried to form a crusade, and Venice allied with King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. The war saw the rapid expansion of the Ottoman navy until it could challenge Venice and the Knights Hospitaller for supremacy in the Aegean Sea, and Venice lost several holdings in Albania and Greece, above all the island of Negroponte (Euboea). By the Treaty of Constantinople of 25 January 1479 Venice ceded Shkodër to the Ottoman Empire as a condition of ending the war, though in its closing years it had recouped losses through its de facto acquisition of Cyprus.
