The First Morean War was a conflict from which the Republic emerged with relatively few losses, as it was mostly fought on Ottoman territory. The conquered territory, the 'acquisto nuovo,' which the Venetian Republic gained under the provisions of the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, was precisely what the Venetians needed to solidify their position in Dalmatia. With the newly acquired territory came a new Morlach population, migrating from Ottoman lands. In this paper, I will present the circumstances under which it was acquired, that is, through victory during the First Morean War. We will also touch upon the 'Small War,' which lasted from 1714 to 1718, as it had a significant impact on the same area. Furthermore, I will describe the area of the 'new acquisition' and where its borders lay, as well as the natural characteristics of the region. We must understand the space in which the Morlachs lived to gain a deeper understanding of their daily lives. Next, we will address the issue of migration, using local communities as examples for a clearer depiction of the situation. Following the migrations, we will arrive at the harambaša and serdars, which lead us to the question of autonomy within Morlach communities. Finally, we will examine the Venetian administrative system and the role of the general provveditore of Dalmatia.
