There were two Barbary wars. The first one lasted from 1801 to 1805 and the second one took place in 1815. Both were fought on the Barbary Coast.
The war with the Barbary States, primarily the First Barbary War (1801-1805) and the Second Barbary War (1815), was caused by the Barbary pirates' practice of raiding American merchant ships and demanding tribute for safe passage through the Mediterranean. After the United States gained independence, it no longer relied on British protection against these coastal North African states. When the Barbary States, particularly Tripoli, increased their demands for tribute and captured American vessels, President Thomas Jefferson decided to take military action to protect American interests and assert the country's sovereignty.
