Search Results Search Terms: TUNIS (1) Database: U.S. Military Records Combined Matches: 1 Four North African states—Algiers, Morocco, Tripoli, and Tunis—were accustomed to charge other nations "tribute," an extortion for the privilege of undertaking commerce in the Mediterranean. European nations and the United States were accustomed to paying the extortion to avoid what seemed to be needless conflict that would be necessary to eliminate it. However, in 1801 the Pasha of Tripoli increased the tribute and declared war on the United States; President Thomas Jefferson had little choice but to fight. Jefferson, no believer in a permanent navy, had poorly prepared the United States for this encounter, and it proved embarrassing when such American naval forces as did exist were unable to subdue the Barbary pirates.
