Morocco was not a belligerent in the Barbary Wars; if anything, they were an ally of the US allowing them free use of their ports as needed. In fact, Morocco's friendship with the US goes back to 20 December 1777 when the sultan declared that US merchant ships were under his protection and could access the Mediterranean unmolested. The Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship of 1786 resulted from the sultan's declaration and it remains the longest treaty the US has made that remains in force to this day.

This, the first US foreign war, has always fascinated me. The Muslims explicitly admitted that they were sending the pirates to harass American and European ships because of their religion; the War Against the Barbary Pirates was the first confrontation between the United States and Muslims. Another interesting matter is that the United States, in order to make an impression on the Muslims with its religious freedom, appointed a Jewish diplomat to negotiate with them.

To call them "provinces" is more of a misnomer: the Ottoman Empire was extremely de-centralized around the religious communal eilat system, so it'd be more apt to call the Barbary states to be vassal states rather than provinces the way we think of them today

The Algerian two ships decature met in the Mediterranean was led by raïs hamidou and I read about that battle "On June 15, 1815 Raïs Hamidou died in combat against an American squadron conducted off Cape El Gato, at the entrance to the Mediterranean, at the limit of the Atlantic Ocean. This squadron, made up of 8 buildings per Admiral Decature, preferring to fight rather than flee, Raïs Hamidou, although only against 8, gave the Americans a hard time during the whole day of May 15 before giving up the ghost, twice struck by Before giving up the ghost, Raïs Hamidou recommended his deputy to throw his body into the sea so that the Americans would not expose it to the population of Algiers, thus reducing the prestige of El-Djazaïr. Admiral Decature had repeatedly made the following comments during the combat: “Funny fellow, this captain, he maneuvers his ship, as an Indian would do with his canoe.” Addressing his officers: “Take it from the seed gentlemen, this captain is brave and therefore, it is surprising on the part of a forban”, or even: “This rais has no chance in fighting against we are going to suicide. Brave men like him deserve respect, let him know that we are ready to deal with him and spare his men, let him surrender only! " When Hamidou, we lend him the following reflections: "So, here we are, finally, in front of these Americans who, it seems, have been looking for us for a long time, jerks of battle? Right on the flagship. Let us show them what the children of El-Djazaïr know how to fight ", or else, on the advice of his deputy inviting him to flee:" What? You want the people of El-Djazaïr to learn that the leader of the Taiffa of Raïs is a coward and that he fled before the enemy! Learn my dear that nobody has ever seen the back of Raïs Hamidou. " After his death and after being thrown into the sea, the Algerian ship flew the flag of surrender, Admiral Decature asked to come aboard to greet the brave captain. The answer was as follows: not the pleasure of meeting our beloved raïs, he lies as he asked at the bottom of this sea which was ... his mother and Decature to say: "I have never fought an adversary of this caliber; I will quote him in my writings ”, before giving the order to let go of a broadside to pay homage to the hero of El-Djazaïr, Hamidou Ben Ali, son of a modest tailor of The Casbah, who became head of the powerful corporation of raïs of the Algerian Navy, position not allowed to Algerian by Turks Decature quoted him and a book on Rais Hamidou is in the Boston library, while Hamidou's flag is displayed in the Maritime Museum in Washington. (Extracts from the book of Belkacem Babaci, the Epic of Raïs Hamidou son of Algiers)

Reis hamidou was the last algerian pirate who was mistaken the usa flag because usa was a new country behind the occean so he felt in capture and wanted to dye in the sea, he accepted the chalange and wated to be thrown in the sea. This algeria man is now having a big statue in algiers he wa s bot in the suburb of algiers in the middle of 17 century. they were also pirates who converted to islam like Murat Reis from harleem and from britain.

Not just in the west.

I'm really torn, because there is a huge part of me that wishes that they succeeded and a smaller part of me that hates the idea of foreign governments interfering in our affairs.

You forgot to mention this: https ://navylive. dodlive. mil/2017/02/03/ships-named-enterprise-for-more-than-240-years-theyve-boldly-served-americas-navy/ "The third Enterprise was the schooner used to capture the pirate ships during the Barbary Wars. At her time of service, anti-piracy operations were a major part of the Navy’s mission. American shipping vessels were frequently attacked in the Caribbean, and the Navy was tasked with fighting them. It was her commanding officer, Lt. Stephen Decatur Jr., who pulled off the daring expedition to burn the frigate Philadelphia in the harbor of Tripoli in 1804. She would be refitted as a brig during the War of 1812. On Sept. 5, 1813, Enterprise chased down the British brig Boxer in a close-combat battle that took the lives of both ships’ commanding officers, Lt. William Burrows and Capt. Samuel Blyth. From 1815 to 1823, Enterprise suppressed smugglers, pirates and slavers until July 9, 1823, the ship became stranded and broke up on Little Curacao Island in the West Indies, without any loss of her crew." And, not counting the Space Shuttle. CVN-80 will be the 9th Enterp[rise! "As long as there is an Enterprise guarding her, America will stand."

Nice video. BUT you forgot one important detail, historical fact: Lt. Decatur was the commanding officer for the USS ENNNTERRRPRRIISSSSEEEEEEEE!....Enterprise. As in The. Followed by USS. Heh-hem. Just sayin'.... But good video. As for wars the US was in that most people don't know about how about the Spanish American war? Or the (Not war, not sure what to call it) the battles/troubles between Gen Pershing and Pancho Villa.

How the hell is America make a super long voyage across the sea and then wreck a bunch of pirates and a country so easily. When the most powerful fleets in the world is right next door and they still paid money to tyrants.
