In the early 19th century, American ships faced threats from three main groups: the British Royal Navy, which imposed impressment of American sailors; the Barbary pirates from North Africa, who demanded tribute for safe passage; and the French, who attacked American vessels during the Napoleonic Wars due to trade disputes. These threats contributed to rising tensions that eventually led to the War of 1812.
