During the Grand Vizierate of İbrahim Pasha, decisively shaping Ottoman international policy during the reign of Kanunî Sultan Süleyman, the diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Venice were strengthened. In the scope of the Ottoman-Habsburg political, military and ideological rivalry, the Republic was perceived both as an ally and source of information. In this period, an open war between the states was never experienced. However, following the 1532 German Expedition, a rapprochement between Venice and the Habsburg Emperor changed the Ottoman approach towards Venice and İbrahim Pasha often warned the Republic to act according to the ahidnâme rules. The Venetian documents of the period, in which he was defined as the friend of Venice, displays that Pasha adopted a tough policy toward the Republic in his last years in the grand vizierate. This article argues that the Ottoman-Venetian relations in the mentioned period was basically shaped by the changing international balances and İbrahim Pasha was the most influential political character both editing the international policies and balancing the Ottoman- Venetian relations. The Ottoman expedition to Corfu Island of Venice following his death in 1536, proves this argument.
