| - The root of the First Italian War was mainly between the alliance of the Habsburg States: Spain and Austria, and the two main other powers on continental Europe: France and the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines and Habsburgs had developed a personal rivalry, and fought mainly over the control of northern Italy, the gateway to both the Adriatic Sea, and to southern Germany. Italy at this time was made up of multiple states, especially in the north, but the Habsburgs wanted to establish a hegemony over the area, and turn it into the family's personal treasury. But the Byzantines had the idea of creating a hegemonic alliance, similar to the old Delian League of Athens, and use northern Italy to fund a new powerful Byzantine military. The Spanish and Austrians made a plan for two offensive maneuvers, one for Austria to invade Venice, and for Spain to invade Genoa. But when they declared war on May 4, 1494, the states of northern Italy, instead of surrendering or putting up little a fight, asked for help from the Byzantine Empire, which they received on May 10, when a Byzantine army marched into Venice to fight the Austrians.
