Summary/Abstract: How can a state located between the most relevant European powers of his time, stepping even peripherally, lacking continental territory even being literally on the waters, it is able to alter his status quo and achieve the transition from colony to a colonizer State? It might think that we offer covert references to modern times and make references on the relationship between the British Empire and the United States of America. But we are not able to consider such important events of the contemporary society. Instead we will focus on a central event of the Medieval World.

So, in our study we may present the lapidary receipt of a such interventions that transformed a colony into a colonizing element.
