The Uskok War, also known as War of Gradisca was fought between the Austrian (Croatian Habsburg soldiers - Uskoci) and Spanish on one side and the Venetians, Dutch and English on the other. Based out of Senj (Ital. Segna) bands of Uskoks fought a fairly successful guerrilla war against the Ottomans, and they formed small units and rowed swift boats.
Since the Uskoks were checked on land and were rarely paid their annual subsidy, they resorted to acts of piracy. Uskoks did not limit their attacks to Turkish vessels but also Venetian merchantmen were often attacked by the Uskoks (and later also attacked by Spanish corsairs). The Venetians tried to protect their shipping with escorts, watchtowers, and other protective measures, but the costs became too high: 120,000 Thalers annually in the 1590s, 200,000 in the 17th century, and 360,000 by 1615.[1] In December 1615, Venetian troops laid siege to Gradisca, located on the Isonzo River.
The Venetians launched a major diplomatic campaign for allies, since the Uskoks were vassals of then-Archduke Ferdinand of Inner Austria, who was likely to seek help from the Holy Roman Emperor Matthias (his uncle) and King Philip III of Spain (his brother-in-law). In September 1616, Count John Ernest of Nassau-Siegen agreed to raise 3,000 men in the Dutch Republic for Venetian service. They arrived the next May, followed six months later by another 2,000 with a contingent of English volunteers. Support from the Spanish was prevented on sea by a flotilla of 12 Dutch and 10 English warships, and on land by the a war in Mantua.[2]
Ferdinand only had 4,000 soldiers to defend Gradisca, but received military, political and financial support from the Spanish as part of a larger deal: Philip agreed to give aid against the Venetians and support Ferdinand as the next Holy Roman Emperor in return for the cession of Alsace, Finale Ligure and Piombino.[3] This led to a negotiated settlement between Ferdinand and the Venetians in which many Uskok pirates were executed or exiled, and a permanent Austrian garrison was installed in Senj.
The Uskok War, also known as War of Gradisca was fought between the Austrian Croatian Habsburg soldiers - Uskoci and Spanish on one side and the Venetians, Dutch and English on the other. Based out of Senj Ital. Segna bands of Uskoks fought a fairly successful guerrilla war against the Ottomans, and they formed small units and rowed swift boats. The Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria holds a variety of Balkan refugees, fleeing from the Turks, and allow them to settle in Carniola and Dalmatia with subsidies and privileges in exchange for military service. The Slav refugees allocated on the coast begins to make inroads against the Venetian trade, and are called "Uscocchi" ("refugees"). Venice protest in vain, she is forced to enhance the protection of convoys and takes punitive expeditions against the pirates' refuge, but the emperors Maximilian II and Rudolf II will continue the same policy. The loss of the ship of the rector of Kotor and the kidnapping of the administrator of Sleep Venice push to block the ports leading Austrian Duke Ferdinand of Austria to accept a treaty with which it agrees to replant the pirates but that is not met.

The Beginning of the War of Gradisca.
The Venetian fleet crashes Trieste, whose garrison is reinforced by Captain Sebastian Zuech. The castle of San Servolo, the Karst Edge, has sacked two of infantry insignia Venetians in return are intercepted at the Rio Ospo from 240 German musketeers that causes them among a dozen killed and wounded. The administrator Benedict Lezze with 1,000 cavalry and infantry occupies the Venetian castle of San Servolo. Uscocchi and Croatian troops led by Colonel Wolfgang Francipane Count Trsat plunder the territory of Monfalcone. The Venetian garrison that was restricted to shoot some guns from the fortress.
