Background The Republic of Genova , was a strategically very important ally of the Spanish Empire , as the Spanish Duchy of Milan was landlocked. All transport between Spain and Milan went over the port of Genoa. Furthermore, the financing of the Spanish crown by the Genovan bankers had made both countries natural allies ever since 1557, when the state bankruptcy of Philip II had ended the reign of the German Fuggers as Spanish financiers. After the War of Devolution and the Franco Dutch War , it was clear that France had replaced Spain as the most powerful country in Europe. In October 1683 France annexed some territory in the Spanish Netherlands , starting the War of the Reunions . When Spain sent reinforcements via the port of Genoa, the French decided to punish the city. Without a formal declaration of war a French fleet, commanded by Abraham Duquesne , bombarded the city of Genova between May 18 and May 22 1684 .
