Talk:Barbary Wars

message: The XYZ Affair and "millions for defense" happened during the Adams administration and led to the U.S. French Naval War (1798-1800), which is different than the Barbary Wars. Kauffner (talk) 09:37, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: XYZ Affair

message: This page served as a general overview of the Barbary wars with links to each war as well as the Barbary corsairs and other topics for the longest time with no perceived problems, let alone actual problems.. Many pages link to Barbary wars e.g. Captain Smith served in the Barbary Wars. Both wars involved basically the same things. There is no need for a redirect, and no need to fix what wasn't broke. I do a lot of writing about this era -- now I have to go through dozens of pages and fix links(?) and indicate and link to both wars in one sentence.  e.g. Captain Smith served in the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War. No thanks. This page with its many links to other pages suited readers and editors just fine. -- Gwillhickers 16:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: General overview of the Barbary Wars

message: The page is full of minor mistakes, but one of them is unbelievable.
"The main purpose of their attacks was to capture European slaves for the Arab slave market in North Africa."
There was NO single European slave in Europe. The correct phrase is: "To enslave Europeans". They weren't slaves as the Africans who were bought and brought to Americas. So the phrase is a major mistake. It gives the impression that they captured slaves, they did not. They enslaved people.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.4.100.152 (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Morocco signed a treaty of friendship with the US in 1784 and never waged war with the US (treaty is officially unbroken). 82.41.110.187 (talk) 20:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is Morocco listed as a belligerent 

message: There were 54 people killed in the sinking of the USS Philadelphia alone, so the overall count of “45” is completely laughable. 2001:1970:5163:1200:0:0:0:E6B (talk) 13:37, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

message: I am confused why the wrong flag of Tunisia continues to be used. Even the name of the file is labeled as the Tripoli flag in contrary to the one I added which is the true flag of Tunis. 184.145.1.59 (talk) 00:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

message: what part of my edit summary about seeking consensus for the result didn't you understand? I know for a fact that there is at least one editor () who disagrees with you, so I suggest you refrain from edit warring. M.Bitton (talk) 03:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You can’t disagree with facts.  Disagreeing with facts just makes you wrong.  The conflict ultimately ended in 1815 with the pirates being defeated which makes the Barbary Wars a US victory.

replies: text: So if someone says the Allies did not win World War Two, do we need to negotiate with that person?  They’re clearly wrong in such a statement.  If you disagree with facts you are just wrong.  “Opinions ” which run contrary to historical facts should not carry any weight.  Read the second Barbary war article or do a quick google search if you doubt that the conflict ultimately ended as a US victory  Jab1998 (talk) 03:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

text: The First Barbary War did not end in a US victory, as there was still ransom being paid (being called ransom and not tribute). FIREYSUNSET (talk) 06:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
