The Barbary Wars were resolved through a series of military conflicts between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa (such as Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis). The conflicts ended with the signing of peace treaties and agreements that secured the release of American prisoners and protected American shipping from piracy in the Mediterranean. The Treaties of Peace and Amity signed in 1805 and 1816 formally ended the hostilities between the two sides.

The First Barbary War (1801-1805) and the Second Barbary War (1815) aimed to protect American shipping interests and assert naval power in the Mediterranean.
