Best Answer

The French colonized Algeria to stop piracy on the Mediterranean. The United States Marine Corps has a reminder in their Marine Hymn about an American expedition against the pirates of North Africa, "To the shores of Tripoli." France, being closer, took more drastic action and colonized Algeria to bring law and order. The colonial system has broken down in Somalia, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and piracy has greatly increased again.
