The Relief of Genoa took place between 28 March 1625 and 24 April 1625, during the Thirty Years' War. It was a major naval expedition launched by Spain against the French-occupied Republic of Genoa, of which the capital Genoa was being besieged by a joint Franco-Savoyard army composed of 30,000 men and 3,000 cavalry. I have been careful until now to avoid anything that could provoke an open war between the two crowns; [but] if the king of Spain takes up arms against me, I will be the last to lay them down. — Louis XIII to Francesco Barberini, early 1635

  • El socorro de Génova aconteció entre el 28 de marzo y el 24 de abril del 1625, durante la guerra de los Treinta Años.​ Fue una importante expedición naval emprendida por España en ayuda de Génova, ocupada por entonces por el ejército francés y cuya capital homónima estaba siendo sitiada por una fuerza franco-saboyana de treinta mil infantes y tres mil jinetes.​ El duque de Saboya ocupó la república —tradicional aliada de España— en 1625 al frente de un ejército francés y cercó la capital. El Gobierno genovés sabía que la invasión contaba con la colaboración holandesa porque el Gobierno de los Países Bajos deseaba con ello debilitar a este centro financiero del rey de España.​ La flota española al mando del general Álvaro de Bazán, marqués de Santa Cruz, acudió en auxilio de la ciudad y rompió el cerco al que estaba sometida. Seguidamente las fuerzas genovesas y españolas emprendieron una contraofensiva contra los invasores franceses y saboyanos. Estos hubieron de evacuar Liguria. Las tropas españolas invadieron luego el Piamonte y aseguraron el denominado «Camino Español».​ La invasión de Génova y la Valtelina planeada por Richelieu acabó en derrota francesa.​ (es)
  • The Relief of Genoa took place between 28 March 1625 and 24 April 1625, during the Thirty Years' War. It was a major naval expedition launched by Spain against the French-occupied Republic of Genoa, of which the capital Genoa was being besieged by a joint Franco-Savoyard army composed of 30,000 men and 3,000 cavalry. In 1625, when the Republic of Genoa, traditionally an ally of Spain, was occupied by French troops of the Duke of Savoy, the city underwent a hard siege. It was known in Genoese governmental circles that one of the reasons why the Dutch government had offered their help to the Franco-Savoyan army was so that they could "hit the bank of the King of Spain". However, the Spanish fleet commanded by General Álvaro de Bazán, Marquis of Santa Cruz, came to the aid of Genoa and relieved the city. Returning its sovereignty to the Republic of Genoa and forcing the French to raise the siege, they consequently began a combined campaign against the Franco-Savoyan forces that had overrun the Genoese Republic one year before. The joint Franco-Piedmontese army was forced to leave Liguria and Spanish troops invaded Piedmont, thereby securing the Spanish Road. Richelieu's Invasion of Genoa and the Valtelline had resulted in his humiliation by the Spaniards. I have been careful until now to avoid anything that could provoke an open war between the two crowns; [but] if the king of Spain takes up arms against me, I will be the last to lay them down. — Louis XIII to Francesco Barberini, early 1635 (en)
