In 1540, most of Greece was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, which had gradually conquered the region during the 14th and 15th centuries and governed it through provincial administrations. A few coastal strongholds and islands - most notably Crete and parts of the Ionian Islands - remained under the Republic of Venice, reflecting the continuing Venetian–Ottoman rivalry in the eastern Mediterranean.
Great map. I gave it as a present to a friend who is really into World War 2 and he loved it. There are lots of details on the map like important battles or the straight distance between important islands and Tokyo. The quality of the frame and map are both great quality.
Incredible result, i would like to point out that during shipping the frame got damaged and we got a new one fast in perfect condition.
