The war over sailing rights in the Mediterranean Sea primarily refers to the Barbary Wars, fought between the United States and the Barbary States (North African states like Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis) in the early 19th century. These conflicts arose due to the Barbary pirates' attacks on American merchant ships and the demand for tribute in exchange for safe passage. 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.
