In May 1801, the pasha demanded an increase inthe tribute($83,000) which the U.S. government had been paying since 1796 for the protection of their commerce from piracy under the 1796 treaty with Tripoli. The demand was refused, and a naval force was sent from the US to blockade Tripoli. Whoever wrote the first answer is an idiot.
From 1801-1805, the United States fought its first war overseas against the Barbary States of North Africa. It's commonly known as the Tripolitan War, because the Pasha (ruler) of Tripoli incited the conflict when he demanded tribute from the newly elected Thomas Jefferson and his administration - a payment meant to "protect" merchant ships from piracy on the open seas - and America refused. This war is also called the First Barbary War or the Barbary Coast War.
Jefferson refused to increase the tribute that the Pasha were demanding which the U.S. government had been paying since 1796 for the protection of their commerce from piracy under the 1796 treaty with Tripoli by $83,000.
