Through these any reader can detect many elements of the renaissance states and study a general history of the 15th ant the 16th centuries. More specifically, the first text is "Europe in Transition (15th -16th c.)". This is a brief history of Europe during the early 16th century. We begin with the political partition of Italy, we move to England, France and Spain. Also there is a discussion about Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire. The second article is "Spain v. the Ottomans (16th c.)". This is the story of the Spanish attack against the Turks during 1532. The Spanish Emperor Charles V wanted to protect his colonies in North Africa which were invaded and destroyed by the Muslim Emirs, assisted by the Ottoman Turks. So he launched an attack against the Turkish city-port of Coron (South West cape of Peloponnese, Greece). He captured the city and held it for almost two years. It follows the third article, "Spain v. France (16th c.)" which discusses the rivalry between Charles V (Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the King of Spain) and Francis I, the King of France. Both were extremely powerful and wanted to rule Europe, if not the world. The fought many battles but none could subdue the other. This is their story. The forth article is "The Ottoman Turks Against Europe (16th c.)" and it is a short story of the Ottoman Turks. They emerged from Asia during the 13th century and by 1500 they had expanded to both sides of the Aegean Sea. During the 16th century they collided with the Hungarians at the plains of Central Europe. The fifth article is "The partition of Italy (15th -16th c.)". The Italian peninsula was for a long time part of the Holy Roman Empire until the 13th century. Since then new small states under rich patrons started to emerge and by the 15th century Italy was consisted of many states hostile to each other. The outcome of this situation was almost constant war. Finally we present the sixth article, "An unknown conspiracy of the Venetian nobility (1537-1540)". This is the story of an unknown conspiracy of the Venetian nobility that took place in Venice during the third Venetian-Turkish war (1537-1540). During that period some of the upper Venetian nobles were bought of the French diplomats and sold secrets to their allies, the Turks. The outcome was almost devastating for Venice.
