The Venetians in Shakespeare's time are the same thing as the Venetians are today--people who live in Venice. Only in Shakespeare's time, Venice was a powerful independent country with a lot of overseas holdings, especially in Dalmatia and the Greek islands, and was the main resistance to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey).
In Shakespeare's play "Othello," the Venetians are primarily at war with the Turks. The conflict serves as a backdrop to the main plot, highlighting themes of jealousy, betrayal, and identity. This war is significant as it shapes the political context of the characters' actions and influences Othello's status as a military leader. The imminent threat of the Turkish fleet adds urgency to the events unfolding in Venice and Cyprus.

It is highly unlikely. The Ottoman Empire invaded Cyprus in 1570 and captured it from the Venetians. Although Shakespeare might have travelled during the lost years 1585 to 1592, he would not likely have gone to a place held by the Turks if he did.
