Croatian to English: “Dubrovnik between the Balkans, Venice and Ottoman Empire, 14th-16th century”
Source text - Croatian Dubrovnik je u razdoblju od 14. do 16. stoljeća, tzv. „zlatnom dobu“, od malene gradske općine postao slobodnom Republikom i zauzeo važno mjesto u mediteranskoj i balkanskoj trgovini. Republika je zaokružila svoje granice do njihovog konačnog obima, bila je u gospodarskom usponu, dosegla je demografski vrhunac. Od grada s vrlo malim agerom Dubrovnik je postao Republikom sa priličnim teritorijem, od Pelješca do Prevlake. Uspon je pratio visoki standard života i kulturni procvat grada. Grad je bio veliko gradilište: grade se zidine, Knežev dvor, palače, vodovod i druge javne i privatne zgrade. Ustanovljene su brojne važne državne institucije. To je razdoblje obilježio i snažan uspon brodarstva i pomorstva.
Sve se to odvijalo u vrlo turbulentnom razdoblju, u kojem se mnogo toga promijenilo u užem i širem okruženju Dubrovnika. Na Mediteranu se život ubrzao, a uz Veneciju, Genovu, Marseilles i katalonske luke, pojavili su se i novi takmaci – zemlje europskog Zapada. Nadiranje Osmanlija mijenjalo je stoljetne prilike na Balkanu i stvaralo posve novi svijet. U vrijeme dok je ostatak hrvatskog prostora sve više kopnio pred Osmanskim Carstvom, Dubrovnik je bio simbol sigurnosti i stvarno utočište. Grad je uživao zaštitu ugarskog kralja i trgovačke privilegije na Balkanu, u Italiji, u Aragonskom kraljevstvu, u Bizantu, na Levantu i na području Habsburgovaca.
Translation - English In the period between 14th and 16th century, in the so called “golden age”, Dubrovnik grew from a small civic municipality to become a free republic and took up an important place in Mediterranean and Balkans trade. The Republic rounded up its borders to their final span, experienced economic growth, reached its demographic peak. From a town with a very small state owned land Ragusa became a republic with considerable territory, ranging from Pelješac to Prevlaka. This growth was accompanied by a high standard of living and cultural flourishing of the city. The city was a big construction site: fortifying walls were being built, Duke’s palace, palaces, waterworks and other public and private buildings. Many important state institutions were founded. That period was also marked by a powerful growth of shipping and maritime affairs.
All of this took place in a very turbulent period during which a lot had changed in Ragusa’s immediate and wider surroundings. Life reached a quicker pace on the Mediterranean, and besides Venice, Genoa, Marseille and Catalan ports, there were new competitors, countries of the European west. The advances of the Ottomans changed a hundred year old situation in the Balkans and created an entirely new world. At the time when the rest of Croatian territory was decreasing under the advances of the Ottoman Empire, Ragusa was a symbol of safety and a true sanctuary. The city enjoyed the protection of Hungarian king and trade privileges in the Balkans, Italy, Kingdom of Aragon, Byzantium, Levant and on the Hapsburg territory.
