History With Seb - First Barbary War

Video style is inspired by Oversimplified
Welcome to History with Seb! This video is about the First Barbary War from 1801 to 1805.
It was a conflict between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa, primarily Tripoli. The Barbary States were known for piracy and demanded tribute from foreign nations. In response to attacks on American merchant ships and the capture of sailors, the United States sent a naval squadron to the Mediterranean. Led by commanders like Commodores Preble and Decatur, American forces engaged in naval battles and blockades. The war concluded in 1805 with a peace treaty, solidifying America's determination to protect its interests and maritime freedom on the international stage.

I agree. I was also watching bluejay and this guy is basically oversimplified and bluejay combined. Only thing i would just say is that he is more like bluejay and then would be awesome also i loved that he did my fav war of Spanish American Philippine war.
