I made a mistake at around 1:00 when I say "The US did not have a Navy". The United States did have a Navy that was created in 1775 during the American Revolution. What I was referring to was the fact that after the American Revolution they sold/got rid of all their ships due to a lack of funding. In response to the raids by Barbary pirates, the United States created the Navy Act of 1794, which funded the rebuilding of the navy. Sorry for the confusion I did not explain that part well.
Dude You got so much wrong First they were not pirates these where Nations led by the Ottoman Empire, What sparked a wiff of war is when US ambassadors went to England to find out why these nations kept attacking US ships. The Tripolitan Ambassador said cause the Koran tells me too. This prompted Washington in a letter to the Lafayette to write, "Want that we had a navie we could bring them back to Humanity or crush them into non existence." Jefferson who did not believe the Tripolitan Ambassador bought a Kran and had it translated.Which proved that the Tripolitan Ambassador was right. When Jefferson became Pres. the Five Islamic states (Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli and the Ottoman Empire.) Declared war against the US. At this point Jefferson did not need Congress because war was declared against the US. This was a war Because of Islam. Tell the truth next time.
@@AABloodyAA Nope, they acted like aggressive nations. And yes it did happen. and yes the Quran does say to make war against the kafir and to them as slaves.“Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah alone” (Quran 2:191-193).
“Strike off their heads and strike from them every fingertip” (Quran 8:12).
“Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they slay and are slain” (Quran 9:111).
If these were really just pirates a treaty would not be needed. Nor would the leader of tripoli need to surrender. Yes, the five nation did declare war most pulled out when the US decided to engage the war not pay tribute. .
@@AABloodyAA It had everything to do with that Fed up religion. The others knew they could not win. So they knew to bide their time. Second if was piracy why did the five declare war. It was only after William Eaton tore through with his Marines that Islamic nations. We have records that show it was the Tripolitan navy. Not some pirate in his pirate ship. Islam has always fought with the non delivers. even using shading tactics like "Islam is just a religion of peace." The ottomans Who were the ones in charge could not afford drawing the old European Nations into it. Look I know you want to believe that Islam is kind and nice but the end goal is to turn (by force if necessary) all the wold to Islam.
And from then on pirates would learn to never again attack US merchant ships....
@@AABloodyAA We won the First Barbary War. It went badly at first, but we eventually pulled ourselves together and scared Yusef into signing a peace treaty.
@@dakkarnemo1094 I mean, wasnt the first a draw and peace had to be paid?
@Chao. P and according to everybody's favorite source, Wikipedia, Algeria. Here's the article.

This is great! The animation is kinda funny and very solid. I would love a video on the African World War.
Thanks for the kind words! I just briefly checked out that event and it seems interesting, I'll try to make that topic into a video :)
Sicily and Sweden dropped out because they had to fight Napoleon since the Napoleonic Wars overlapped (began and ended) the Barbary Wars.
Now I understand that part of the Marines Hymn.
'From the halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli...'
"Pesky Pirates"?!?!? Islamic slave trading savages is more historically accurate.
greg castrigano there pirates, nothing to do with islam
yacqub ali They specifically referenced the Quran to justify their attacks on US and European ships. There is so much info everywhere about this. You might as well deny that LeBron James plays basketball!

Some estimates have over a million Europeans sold into slavery just during the late colonial period. They raided the coasts of Spain, Italy, Sicily, and even went as far as England. So they basically were doing exactly what the Turks, Arabs, and Moors did since the 7th century.
just dont fucking talk about slavery ... black people where allways our brothers but you still see them as slaves
@@boosh3456 they don't
this is the tenth video ive watched on the Barbary War and I learned something this time :)
I see Sicilian Flag, I click.
The marines invaded Tripoli, right?
Yes, when the marines placed the American flag in Tripoli after the First Barbary War it was added to the marines hymn. Which is why it says "To the shores of Tripoli".
@@TalesofHistory placed my ass, i bet you know nothing about the whole story other than knowing tripoli mentioned in your navy anthem. read the whole story and read the history and then you'll find out.
Thia gets into a lot of information about Jefferson, Madison. They both handled this war and extending US naval power out into the world stage. Costly to finance active ships in the Med, but more costly not to have American shipping not protected and not taken seriously by other world powers like England and France. Jefferson could wield power when he wanted to. Great to show in class!!!
great video p.s. if you want a good laugh read about cod wars (uk vs iceland)
It wouldve been nice if u also mentioned the battle of tripoli its really interesting
I am studying for a test and this really helped me understand the subject
I'm glad that it helped! Good luck on your test :)
I think that it went well but I don’t know my grade yet
That's good! I hope you get a good grade on it
Me too
Thanks to you guys, I won't fail history!
Good thing someone invented "insurance" lol
This is a great move by the U.S.
I went an entire year or AP U.S. history and never covered the Barbary Wars, like bro
From the halls of Montezuma to the shore of Tripoli. U.S. Marine Corp Hymn...
They are like the Ctusades in a way
Didn’t the ottomans get involved?
Scoob The Boob Nope. Attacking and declaring war on the United States would been fatal to the declining Ottoman Empire, if that happened, all of Europe together with the U.S would declare war on the Ottoman Empire. Besides that, the Ottomans were afraid of the French and British..

Visit Algeria if you dear
They did visit Ottoman Algeria and defeated it and bombarded Algiers. Ottoman Algeria lost the war to the United States.

@@moroccomapping8549 then you are admitting that America assisted France to bomb Algeria with nuclear warhead
@@user-sq7dx5st6x Yes it’s the truth, can’t erase history, I wish it didn’t happen
@@moroccomapping8549 mistakes can't happen more than once
👍
They are The Algerian not pirates
Viva libyaaaaaaa
Bit of advice:
If you don't even mention things like "Who were the people called barbary pirates?" "Where were they from?" "Why did they engage in piracy?" that's pretty much what people would call whitewashing or eurocentric history, because instead of talking about history, you focus on the efforts and identities of a single group (americans and europeans) without the full context or full cast of actors.
The style of the video is nice, but seriously lacking in content and depth.
i wouldn't call it eurocentric or white washing but its severely lacking in details
I apologize for the lack of depth in the video. I made the mistake of trying to make the video shorter but in doing so I cut a lot of important information. This is a mistake that I will try to not make ever again.
The most important part of the history is why it ended!!!! Musket balls dipped in pig blood and fat....
Barbary... it's literally in the name...
I disliked this bc my teacher is prolly gonna watch it in class
