The Barbary war. It is also known as the Barbary Coastal war.It was fought against the Barbary States.
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 Barbary pirates were primarily supported by the North African states of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, which engaged in piracy against American and European shipping in the Mediterranean Sea. The United States went to war with these states, notably during the First Barbary War (1801-1805) and the Second Barbary War (1815), in response to the demands for tribute and the capture of American merchant ships. The conflicts aimed to protect American interests and assert naval power in the region.

Jefferson refused to pay protection money on the Barbary states
Jefferson chose to blockade Tripoli, which was one of the Barbary States, in 1801. The blockade was a response to Tripoli's demand for increased tribute payments from the United States. This ultimately led to the First Barbary War.
The First Barbary War, also known as the Tripolitan War (1801-1805), resulted in the United States affirming its naval power and securing the freedom of American shipping in the Mediterranean. The conflict highlighted the challenges of dealing with Barbary States, leading to increased military readiness and the establishment of a more robust U.S. Navy. Ultimately, the war concluded with a treaty that reduced the payments made to the Barbary States and paved the way for future American foreign policy in the region.
