The Tripolitan War (1801-1805) was primarily caused by the rising tensions between the United States and the Barbary States, particularly Tripoli, over piracy and the demand for tribute to ensure safe passage for American ships in the Mediterranean. When Tripoli declared war on the U.S. after dissatisfaction with the tribute payments, it prompted the U.S. to respond militarily. The conflict ultimately resulted in the U.S. asserting its naval power and negotiating treaties that curbed piracy, leading to a greater emphasis on protecting American commercial interests abroad. The war marked a significant moment in U.S. foreign policy, establishing a precedent for military intervention against piracy.
