Barbary Corsairs: The Most Feared Pirates in the Mediterranean Sea

Go to expressvpn.com/SandRhoman and find out how you can get 3 months of ExpressVPN free!
The Barbary corsairs were some of the most feared pirates in history. From their bases in North Africa, they terrorized seafarers and inhabitants of the Mediterranean coast. They robbed valuable goods and abducted thousands of people to sell into slavery. The Barbary corsairs sailed as far as Newfoundland, Canada; played a crucial role in naval battles, such as the Battle of Lepanto in 1571; and fought alongside the Ottomans in amphibious operations such as the siege of Malta. Let’s get to know these dreaded sailors, delve into the intricacies of their daily operations, and explore how they became a formidable naval power.

    Sadly, you didn't mention the presence of Barbary Corsairs in Louisiana. The famous pirate Jean Laffite's crew was largely of North African extraction. Thus, there are now many toponyms in and around New Orleans with North African flavor, including a town named Algiers. These pirates also fought on the US side in the Battle of New Orleans during (and, because of the slow speed of communications in the day, after) the War of 1812.

    In spanish we have a say "no hay moros en la costa", which could be translated to "no moors at the coast", meaning we can proceed with a given situation, since there is nobody that could pose a threat around. It comes from the centuries where the mediterranean spanish coast was attacked by barbary pirates (the moors). Nowadays it has been labelled as offensive, but that's another story.

    The "depopulation" of the coast was widespread in Mallorca. Many of their "coastal" towns were actually a few km inland and the harbour was almost a separate entity. That's why nowadays you see places like Sóller, Alcúdia, Andratx... separated into Sóller and Port de Sóller, Alcúdia and Port d'Alcúdia, etcetera.

    Love from Taiwan. I never fully understood USA starting wars in S America and N.Africa back then, so this nice little intro helps me grasp the economic reality of the Napoleonic Era. My ancestors were gentry families who also dealt trade routes, and they suffered many losses due to piracy along Taiwan's coast. One thing in this great vid I hope could be improved, around 11m5s Letter of Marque was mentioned. If you introduced new terminology perhaps best to flash a line or two defining it according to its use of the time period in your narrative. Viewers not familiar with this era might be confused by a new term introduced out of no where.

    In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied: It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once. That being said, i have read the Quran myself and these people just followed their base desires and slapped some religious paint on it, it does not make these people better though. The Barbary Coasts constant raiding, that went even as far as Iceland to gather slaves to sell to the turks, also surely played a role in France wanting to colonize them and going for them since they established themselves as a boogeyman.

    Good video, it's an interesting topic that I've been waiting for since you talked about the Battle of Lepanto a couple of years ago. This video opens the possibility of new topics for future videos, for example: the system of conquests and establishment of Portuguese and Spanish African settlements in North Africa; the little-known Corsairs of Dunkirk; and Japanese and Chinese Piracy from the 16th to the 17th century. On the other hand, there are a series of errors in the video that are worth clarifying: _ There are several mistakes in the maps you use since Charles V is mentioned, for example at that time the Kingdom of Navarra no longer existed (it was conquered by Ferdinand the Catholic and then the French annexed the part that was on their side), the kingdom of Naples is mistakenly shown as a separate territory (since 1503 it has been part of Spain), the Holy Roman Empire did not have control over Northern Italy at that time (the Italian states had Imperial dignity, but they were independent entities like Savoy, Florence, Este, Mantua, etc.); Milan, the Netherlands and Franche-Comté were also part of Spain; Scotland's border extends further south than it should, not all the Greek islands were under Ottoman control, among others that I will not mention. _ The reason why Spain and Portugal expanded into North Africa was actually a measure to limit piracy (something you don't mention in putting the territories under their control on the map). _ The Spanish Naval Hegemony did not end in 1588, the fleet was quickly rebuilt (which is why there were several attempts at armadas until a peace was signed, which maintained good relations between the two kingdoms in the first decades of the 17th century) and supremacy It was not completely lost until the defeat against the Dutch in the 80 Years' War (the British did not dispute it until after their Civil War).

    If you've got a strong stomach (no really, even as a combat veteran that's not something I watch lightly) you could watch 'Africa Blood and Guts', a documentary 'released as filmed' with nothing left out. The Italian film crew was in Zanzibar when Arab (slaver) rule was being overthrown. The results were pretty gruesome. There was a LOT of hate against the former masters you can tell. Similarly themed is the book 'The fall of the Congo Arabs' which is available as pdf online. Written by a British officer during the Congo Arab War (which was mainly about slavery) he describes how the slavery happened along religion and ethnic lines, facing mainly Arab and half-Arab fighters with most fully black tribes on their side. And that's the Congo Basin in the 19th century....

Also quite funny because Mithridate's plundering of Anatolia might have led to strengthening of the pirates.

I've watched and read about Lepanto before, but haven't seen much about what they do in smaller scale conflicts (they don't bring huge navy for every raids, do they?l It's just that ramming seems pretty risky for me, since it seems easy to break their ship in the process.

    The fact that the Barbary pirates were around for some of the most important events in the early modern era and that they were in contact with so many different countries around not just the Mediterranean but the entire Atlantic is what makes them so interesting to me. I visited Iceland last December and there were stories and fear of them even there (and that's why it was legal to kill Turks there for a long time). They remind me of the Vikings in that they were just there, doing their thing, raiding and profiting, and yet they left a lasting influence far and wide. I think it's also such a strange turn of fate that the Barbary pirates were so ramdomly powerful that Europe just had to put up with them and it was only by the direct military efforts of the US and Sweden of all countries that they were put down. Really random.

    My take away is these were basically the first international corporations. These were corporate backed/funded activities with investors in both Europe (Amsterdam, Genoa), North Africa (Sale, Algiers) and Middle East (Istanbul). It was a racket everyone took part in and only died when the economic landscape changed with the industrial revolution. I bet many of the today's international corporations are the descendants of holding companies who went "legitimate" after they made their fortune in piracy/slavery.

    The moriscos expulsion wasn't just because they were forcefully converse and then expelled nonetheless... they were offered to convert or to be deported to north africa, many just go and the ones who stayed most of them did not convert in reality like the cryptojews the moriscos still were muslims and even three generations later still pray looking to Mecca. In the context of the Ottoman wars to have a large population of muslims that could side with the Turk was too dangerous and eventually the moriscos just proof to be disloyal to the crown as they rise in revolt and started massacres in spanish cities and towns. Emperor Carlos had to call the tercios from Flandes to crush the revolt. Moriscos were given lots of chances to integrate not only they refuse but they sided with the enemies of Spain and turn against their own neighbours so, yes they were crushed and then expelled. Which is kinder than what the turks did to many christians in their territories as moriscos weren't enslave, castrated or some other gruesome fate.
