Venice and the Ottoman Empire agreed an armistice late in 1502, followed by another treaty in January 1503. The republic had already paid heavily for the earlier settlement and added an annual sum to keep forces ready, with the pope contributing part of the cost. Continued Ottoman raids into northern Italy meant that peace did not remove the strategic danger. By 1510, Vladislaus II had received substantial Venetian subsidies. When the League of Cambrai asked him to attack Venice without replacing those payments or protecting Hungary from the Ottomans, he had strong practical reasons to refuse. Wartime finance outlasted the campaign and influenced the diplomatic choices of the next conflict. Much of the strongest scholarship on the period is in Hungarian, which limits the reach of English-language overviews.

Treaty payments reshape the League of Cambrai choice
Venetian payments sustained readiness after the armistice and later gave Vladislaus II strong reasons not to join the League of Cambrai against his paymaster.
