Why did the marines attack Tripoli?
RESOURCE: Directly from Marines.Comhttp://www.marines.com/main/index/winning_battles/history/missions/battle_of_dernaIn 1805, the United States government refused to continue paying Barbary Coast pirates to refrain from raiding American merchant ships.When negotiations for a treaty failed, President Thomas Jefferson assembled an expeditionary force of Marines to respond.Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon and his Marines marched across 600 miles of the Libyan Desert to successfully storm the fortified Tripolitan city of Derna and rescue the kidnapped crew of the USS Philadelphia.The Marines' victory helped Prince Hamet Bey reclaim his rightful throne as ruler of Tripoli. In gratitude, he presented his Mameluke sword to Lt O'Bannon.This famous sword became part of the officer uniform in 1825, and remains the oldest ceremonial weapon in use by United States forces today.The Battle of Derna was the Marines' first battle on foreign soil, and is notably recalled in the first verse of the Marines' Hymn: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea." Not all things are as the official version wishes to portray. Tripoli was a pirate base which preyed on European and American commercial shipping in the Mediterranean. A US warship, attempting to intervene, was captured in the port through ineptitude of the captain, and the crew was enslaved. The US mounted an overland expedition with a prince who was a claimant as ruler. While this expedition was approaching Tripoli, the US cut a deal with the pirates to release the enslaved crew, withdrew the marines supporting the prince, and abandoned him and his supporters to their fate.

To protect American ships, the United States paid a yearly tribute, or bribe, to rulers of Barbary States such as Tripoli.In 1801, Tripoli increased its demands. When Jefferson refused to pay, Tripoli declared war on the United States. Jefferson then ordered the navy to blockade the port of Tripoli.During the blockade, the American ship Philadelphia ran aground near Tripoli. Pirates boarded the ship and hauled the crew off to prison. The pirates planned to use the Philadelphiato attack other ships. To prevent this, American naval officer Stephen Decatur and his crew quietly sailed into Tripoli harbor by night. They then set the captured American ship on fire.In the meantime, American marines landed on the coast of North Africa. They marched 500 miles to launch a surprise attack on Tripoli. In 1805, the ruler of Tripoli signed a treaty promising not to interfere with American ships.
