The
burning of the Frigate USS Philadelphia in
Tripoli Harbor The
First Barbary War, also known as
the Tripolitanian War, lasted from 1801
to 1805, and is considered by many to
be America's first "foreign war." This
conflict also featured America's first
attempt at "regime change" as the
Marines attempted to place an ally on
the throne in Tripoli. The
Second Barbary War, also known as
the Algerine War, was a short
conflict in 1815 against the Barbary
State of Algiers. With
the advent of modern piracy off the
coast of another African Muslim
country, Somalia, comparisons are being
made between the Barbary pirates of the
1700s and 1800s on the one hand, and
the Somali
pirates
of the early 21st century. See also the
