The Barbary Slave Trade thrived off piracy in the Mediterranean. Pirates operated off the coast of North Africa preyed on European coastal settlements and ships; enslaving Europeans who were subsequently brought back to port cities in Morocco and Algeria among other places. Historians have speculated that from the 16th to the early 19th century, as much as 1 million Christian Europeans were enslaved by the Barbary pirates.

After the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus around 90% of the population of the island was either killed or sold into slavery or fled to escape both. The monasteries of mount Athos became a safe haven for escapees and the Greek community of Venice bought the freedom of a big amount of Cypriots slaves

The majority of Slavic slaves who remained in the Crimea or were exported to the Ottoman Empire were probably captured during Tatar raids in the southern regions of Poland-Lithuania and Muscovy.

I can't believe that the algorithm has only just recommended your channel to me.
Ive always loved history and when I was in high school during the 80's there was a tendency to ignore English history before 1066 and apart from a basic overview nothing of the Islamic World.
It was only after education that through my own interest I discovered the rich history of the Middle East and North Africa.
Subscribed.
Glad to hear it!
very interesting topic thank you
A really great video!
You could make a sequel about the Tatar raids and the Black Sea slave trade. Especially considering You already talked about it a little in your videos about Hurrem Sultan and the Crimean Khanate.
BTW have I recommended already the paper _Slave hunting and slave redemption as a business enterprise: The northern Black Sea region in the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries_ by Dariusz Kołodziejczyk?
I know I've mentioned it under some other videos of the adjacent topics like the one M. Laser made recently about the early Medieval trade of (mostly) Slavic slaves being the origin of the word "slave" itself.
I've taken note of your comment Artur and thank you for your recommendation, that video should also be coming up next year!
@@HikmaHistory I'm very glad to hear that. Have a great new year!
I've heard some arguments that the golden horde was actually the most lucrative of the mongol possessions because of slavery and fur trade.

Great video!!
Thank you for posting this video and preserving history..... history in itself is neither good nor bad it, is historical fact that shouldn't be viewed through the lense of today...

I find that the retraction of settlements further inland as a consequence of rampant piracy fascinating, mainly because my people's history. They basically cut off all contact with the outside world after the collapse of the local hegemon (Majapahit) by living deeper into the island with various local anecdotes and oral folklore describing about the lenghts they went through to avoid lanun/pirates (e.g. Aversion to making campfire, ships in general, etc)
Where is this you're talking about, sound like India?

Billiton Island is very strategical location, between the Strait of Malakka, Java Sea and South Chinese Sea.
@@phornthip1991 Militarily speaking, sure. The Brits, Dutch, Japs and Indonesians have had their share in this island's military history.
But Riau Islands or Bangka/Banca are way more strategic than this backwater. Actually, the entirety of Southern Sumatra were just backwater since the fall of Sriwijaya up to early 20th century, at least compared to other parts of Sumatra and Java. The (re)discovery and exploitation of natural resources and the expansion of cash crop industry from East Sumatra would end that period of tranquil stagnancy.
My people were slaves for 400 years we just don't cry about it like blacks do
No instead you decided to emulate them .
Yeah bec your ancestors did same thing before being slave lol... but not black people's ancestors and be more respectful first european colonist nation's nationalist ...
The Only Difference here is that Muslims favored Converted Slaves who raised high in Position even becoming Leaders of large Cities, while on the Other Hand Christianity did not favor a Black Slave by White Slave Holders note the difference, if anything Christianity is the major reason for the Slave Mind among Black People today.
😅😅😅
Great story.
Loved to watch it.
Very interesting and well presented. It's interesting however, that you chose the 16th century as a start. In truth, while the activity certainly exploded during that time, it also existed earlier, a lot of records from the Iberian Peninsula (and fortifications to protect against it!) show that
Yeah for sure, there was even a Crusade aimed at the Barbary Pirates in 1390. I just started with the 16th century cuz like you said that's when things really started to heat up.
@@HikmaHistory I would say that the resurgence of the Byzantine navy under the Macedonian dynasty and the rise of Italian city states in the 10-11 century and the arrival of the Normans broke the power of the "Saracen" in the Mediterranean.
@@HikmaHistory Could you do a documentary on ISIS please?
Vikings and the Germans were slaves in Andulus, too
@@aneesahussein1522 Irish, Slavs, etc also. The problem of rationalizing slavery, colonialism, imperialism in the Islamist mind is a very dangerous one. When you make immoral acts into moral ones this is how civilizations get destroyed.
I like that you cover history fairly. Different groups like to aggrandize themselves and demonize others, as although all the good is on their side and all the evils is outside of it....
Thank you for the history. This is not discussed in the US.. I look forward to watching more videos to learn history not taught here .

Thanks Jennifer!
I read in the book 'Don Quixote' that was written by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes , he was a captain captured in Algiers by corsairs .
he understood The reason why they were capturing christians Europeans and making them slaves is rooted in a sentiment of revenge for the land of Andalusia, "Spain", which they believed belonged to them and their ancestors for 7 centuries before they were expelled after the Reconquista.
he noticed that Algiers was a city inhabited mostly by Muslims who were expelled from Spain (Aragon)
Great video! A little surprised that the Capture of Miguel De Cervantes the greatest writer of the Spanish language, by Barbary pirates was talked about..
*wasn't

@@HikmaHistory keep up the good work! Love your videos they are so informative
Thank you for educating me about how history is stranger than fiction.
Why did France and Britain help this man against the Spaniards, aren't they Christians?
The “Best Admiral” in History has many claimants, like Yi Sun-Sin, Zheng He, Nelson and De Ruyter, however, the most adventurous and successful was none other than Hayreddin Barbarossa. From a prisoner of the Hospitallers, Barbarossa had become Poseidon of the Seas. But this process was difficult and adventurous.
Born the sons of an Ottoman Sipahi, the 4 Barbarossa brothers became seamen fighting the Knights Hospitallers. After Oruç, Ishaq and Ilyas were killed fighting the Spanish and Hospitallers, Barbarossa became the sole ruler of Algiers and continued to fight.
In 1519, he acknowledged the Ottoman control over Algiers, and the Ottomans recognized him as its Beylerbey. From 1519 to 1522 Barbarossa’s forces constantly raided numerous cities like Provence & Toulon making him a terror in Europe and transported Mujedars in Spain to North Africa. After assisting in the Conquest of Rhodes, he continued raiding and taking major islands in the Mediterranean until 1534, whereupon he took Tunis and became Kapudan Pasha when Suleiman I recognised the need for a Navy. After war broke out, a much smaller Ottoman force annihilated a Christian fleet consisting of Venice, Genoa, and Spain in 1538. From 1538 until retirement in 1545, Barbarossa's forces won battle after battle, whether it was sacking Nice in 1543 or ravaging a Spanish fleet in Algiers, which made the Turks the principal power in the Mediterranean.
After a life of hardship, Barbarossa died in 1546, one of the greatest Admirals in History. The Turkish Annals for 1546 simply record, “The King of the Sea is Dead”.
Keep your boner in check.
Barbarossa seemed pretty good, but you can't compare him to Yi Shun Shin
Barbarossa sounds like a fearful raider, but for actual mastery at sea, including building, maneuvering and commanding ships, I don't think Admiral Yi has been topped in world history.
@@ledoyedo5483 Admiral Yi was great at protecting his Korean nation, while Barbarossa was great at Mediterranean sea. Both are great at their respective regions
@@adiabd1 Im just saying though, admiral Yi suffered much more man Barbarossa, he had to deal with the Korean court's corruption and got demoted multiple times. While also having to deal with the Japanese massive fleet and modernised weapons
People really need to learn about this.
Fascinating and surprising!

This not informative my brother this the European version of events and this scumbag repeat it
This leads to this question: While Europe and the U.S possessed steam-powered warships and artillery shells, why the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary pirates did not adapt such important technological advancement?
They couldn’t. Ignorance and illiteracy were rampant. The economy was also weak. Meaning, even if they lacked the technical know how, they didn’t have any financial prowess, that would allow them to acquire that sort of technology by purchasing it.
Because ottomans never industrialized
Steam powered ships weren't until after this time period, for much of this time all navies used galleys in Mediterranean.
They were chillin'.
No iron or coal mines

Slavery was the norm in human history, Europeans were slave traders themselves, the vikings took slaves from England and Europe, and sold them to Middle Eastern slave markets.
Slavery in Europe was banned since the introduction of christianity in most parts
Exactly. Slavery was a profitable business and existed in all societies and races throughout history. Also, some people turned themselves into slavery because they couldn't pay their debt or feed their children. It was just the way of life back then and there is no need to act like a victim now.
The difference is that some people are proud of it, others see their past mistakes. That's the difference between animals and humans.
@@HF06 so you are calling someone animal
@@lotcam4046he's saying people who are not ashamed of it are animals.
Would love to see a research paper about the descendants of these slaves though virtually all would probably have been assimilated into the population so a genetic genealogical approach might be the most appropriate method.

We were taught this in 9th grade history in my era (class of 92). "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli!" Americans tried negotiation, but the pirates were too greedy and got a taste of the first U.S. Marines.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Barbary pirates were not black
REPARATIONS WHEN?
Wow, what an eye opener. How come this was never taught in schools?
Servus Schlavus = Latin meaning “servant Slavic.” There were so many Slavic (Schlavus) people taken as slaves that they just dropped the “servus,” and went to “Schlavus” and finally “slave.” The term for slave in Italian is still “schiavo,” in Spanish “esclava,” and in French “esclave.”

Many governors and pasha here were of European convert origin, they were selected because they didn’t have any affiliation to local tribes and because of their long service in the marine corps.

Why? It doesn't negate America's debt to African Americans. However all history should be taught.
Most of pre-Frank settlements who borded the sea in Occitania are still inhabited because of the frequent raid on the population till the XIX century.
Not because of the Spanish pirates, Satanists
Morocco’s involvement didn’t end as a result of the Barbary wars, a few years before they independently had the USA buy their way a treaty of friendship along with tribute after seizing their ships. They stopped their piracy. It would have been to hear more about their involvement in the Barbary slave trade. The pirates of Sale served the Saadis and only became a republic once Morocco was in a long period of complete anarchy, the Alawite dynasty then re-established dominion over Sale and incorporated the pirates into their navy.

It's always weird to me that this happens at the same time that Western Europe really begins to grow into the World Dominant power.
the ottomans were a superpower during this time(16th century) which was the reason that Barbary slavery existed. their navy would join and protect these pirates when they raided Europe for slaves. European countries were a regional power in this period but they were developing towards superpower status like france, england, austria and russia in the next century. Spain was a superpower during this period and along with Italy destroyed the ottoman navy in 1571 at the battle of lepanto which ended Barbara piracy.

This popped up on my feed and I have to point out a few problems with the title. 1- Europeans were slaves long before this time. Rome was a culture based on slavery with about a 1/3 of it's population being slaves throughout most of it's history. 2- If you wanted to talk about Europeans being slaves another place to point to would be the Vikings. But people don't bring them up when talking about slavery (wonder why?). 3- The Barbary pirates weren't "slaves" in the way that most seem to think of them as. They were pirates, while the often sold women into slavery their first goal was to loot ships of good and ransom the workers on said ships. They had worked out deals with European powers (protection scheme) to leave their ships along.
I know I demand to much, but it's gonna good if put CC english in your videos 😢
I don't know if you have ever read any Nabil Matar, but I highly recommend him for this topic. He presents a nuanced and balanced perspective on this topic.

Meet Hayreddin Barbarossa, the greatest naval commander in the history of Islam and the greatest pirate in the history of the world. Most of things and customs that we associate today to Pirates were actually inspired by Hayreddin and the legendary Barbary Corsairs.
The character 'Hector Barbossa' in the movie series Pirates of the Caribbean was inspired by him.
He is famous for winning the Battle of Preveza, the most spectacular naval victory in history, and has many war victories, and is even said by many expert historians to be the greatest admiral of all time.
Some of his battle victories:
Capture of Algiers (1516)
Algiers Expedition (1519)
Sack of Mahón
Capture of Peñón of Algiers (1529)
Campaign of Cherchell (1531)
Conquest of Tunis (1534)
Aegean Expedition (1537)
Aegean Expedition (1538)
Battle of Preveza
Ottoman-Venetian War (1537-1540)
Siege of Castelnuovo
Siege of Nice
Sack of Lipari
Didn't capture or expedition of Algiers that was military union to stop Spain invasion 🤔
It is important to remember the Venetian and other Christian trading states did not want Spain and Portugal creating a monopoly in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean and worked actively with the Ottomans .
Peace ✌ ☮
Sounds back stabby
You missed some details:
First off, no mention of Sayyida al Hurra, the queen of Tétouan, and more importantly one of the first pirates in the area. She took up piracy as payback for Spain taking Grenada. Genuine badass.
It was Sweden and the USA who fought the Barbary pirates in 1801 - 1805. This led to the first treaty which didn't last long. The 1st Barbary war had Stephen Decatur sneaking aboard the captured USS Philadelphia and setting it on fire, thus removing it as a gun platform after it had been captured by Tripoli (Lord Nelson pronounced it “the most bold and daring act of the age”. Decatur was made captain at the age of 25. He was the youngest person ever promoted to Captain in the US Navy). And of course the march from Alexandria, Egypt to Derna (also known as Derma), Libya, led by US Army Lieutenant William Eaton (self-promoted to General and Commander-in-Chief) and eight Marines, and a whole lot of mercenaries. Derna was taken after the gunnery crew of the one artillery piece left the cannon ramrod in the barrel and fired it downrange, leading to a charge instead. Tobias Lear crafted a peace treaty, thoroughly pissing Eaton off, and that was the end of the 1st Barbary war.
The USA was distracted by english-speaking pirates for awhile, and had to take a break from dealing with the Barbary Coast pirates between 1812 and 1815. But the US Navy came back in 1815 and Algiers in short order saw things our way and signed a peace treaty on July 3rd, 1815 aboard the USS Guerriere (a recent gift from the British Navy).
The following year the Dutch and the Brits offered Algiers a peace treaty that Algiers turned down. So the next day Algiers got the pudding blasted out of them. And Britain offered the same treaty as before, which all of a sudden looked like a much better deal "and I therefore offer you the same terms of peace which I conveyed to you yesterday in my Sovereign's name". Shoulda took him up on that...
This didn't quite put an end to things, the ultimate victor was France who simply took the area starting in 1830, and put it up under new management.
The US Marine Corp hymn: "to the shores of Tripoli" referenced this war.

Why wouldnt we be? Its our history. We also dont believe slavery itself as a concept is bad, but people misused it for their own gain, of course. You're only influenced by the orientalist images and depictions of these people, you probably never heard of the good they did like saving the thousands of Jews from Spanish expulsion. Are we proud of the bad they did? Of course not.
I expect you to be consistent and also comment on videos about people like Alexander the Great, why call him "the Great" and teach about him in such a positive manner when he butchered populations of different cities?
@indefinite abyss you most likely dont even know how to wash your behind.
Many slaves from Eastern Europe rose to high office as slave officials in Byzantium and in the Ottoman empire . Others became soldiers , workers and artisans . Many Slavic women became concubines . Nomads from Central Asia regularly raided Slavic areas for slaves until states developed .
Yeah theres a reason Slav is so close to Slave in english, for centuries slavs were targeted by slavers of all kinds. Even in russia serfdom was basically just another form of slavery that remained long after the end of serfdom in the rest of europe
thats just horrible. dont ever defend slavery. its not good.

Almost everybody used slaves, fought to have as many slaves as possible BUT Europeans Christians fought to end slavery !
Who told u they were christians?
Being under a christian royal and a society that doesn't accept u if u public denounce it, doesn't automatically make u christian.
Ur trying to make it a religious thing to publicize ur religion, great way to show ur weakness in faith 👍

Now tell us who financed the ships, also the number was upwards over 4 million, as the “Barbary” Berber slave was in constant full swing since the 8th century Berber Moor invasion of Spain.
The slave trade was constantly happening for over 1000 years.
How was the Berber Invasion of Spain in anyway related to Barbary Slavers in the 1500's? One was a Successful Invasion Force which formed an Advanced Civilization in Spain which was at the time a backwater S Hole ruled by Visigoths, the other were Enslaving Europeans to get Booty and were of a Low Moral Standing, or are you the type of Liar who is against All Muslims and claims "They are all the same"?
Yes Morocco once owned Spain. Crazy
Why is the title, a suprised one? Europeans have been slaves for thousands of years, that’s where the name for an ethnicity of Eastern Europeans, “Slavs” comes form because so many were slaves. Europeans have been slaves longer than Africans, unless you count North Africa such as Egypt.
Actually the Slavs didn’t get their name from being associated with being slaves, thats just a misconception. Instead the Slavs get their name from a slavic word called “Slava” which means “glory”. You can even find this word in the chant that the Ukrainians use in the recent war which is “Slava Ukraini”. And that part about Europeans being enslaved longer than Africans is highly doubtful considering Ancient Egypt has been known to esnlave the African people south of their borders.
They were not pirates, they were privateers. They served under Ottoman empire against enemy shipping.
So taking children as sex slaves from quiet little towns is enemy shipping? Ok then.
@@bongeyedolly1732 Most of that is European Propaganda i would take it with a Grain of Salt if anything Europeans did what you saying Christopher Colombo was the Epstein of his time, except for the fact that his actions were Legal under the Queen of Spain.
Why didn’t we learn about this in school?! Frfr
We learned it early in high school (class of 92). Not sure why they stopped but I can guess. Narrative not in line with what they are trying to do.
I learned nothing about north Africa in school aside from early eygptian history on the Nile for like 15 minutes

We live in the here and now stop holding grudges which have been hammered into you by others we are here to live as one people and succeed together.
I would like to know how the heck some historians came up with the number of 1 million European slaves. It sure seems like an over-estimate.
Would you say the same for the african slaves? Or do you only doubt it because "WHITE MAN BAD HURRR DURRRR"?
Genuinely interested
An over estimate? In Ottoman Constantinople at one time, 1 in 4 people were slaves. Usually of European ancestry, Serbs, Ukrainian slavs, Greeks... Etc. Now all assimilated, their heritage lost to time. Indeed, entire countries now are descendants of European slaves. Far more than a million. Perhaps 1.5 million just stolen to North Africa. 1 million is surely an underestimate whichever way you look at it.

Ottomans: Slaves are white

Did you ever do a video on the Arab / muslim sub sahara african slave trade or the muslims/moors invading western europe from 711 to 1492. Most people never know about this history. Also, the zanj rebellion.

This wasn't slavery,this was indentured servitude. No language, religion,dialect or customs lost. They were able to move through society to it's highest titles. Their assimilation is obvious because the African was still considered the lowest amongst these and were apart of chattel slavery. Slavery in the western hemisphere and slavery done in the name of Christianity and Islam are totally different. The proof is that the people's of the western hemisphere, Africa, India China and other parts of Asia did not impose this on Europe or Arabs in which all was done in the name of God. These are the monsters of humanity. Their time will come for when they will have to succumb for their I'll deeds of the past 2000 years of wrecking the human race because of their travels. Caucasians (European's and Arabs) have misused and interpreted the 3 great Faith's of Judaism, Islam and Christianity to subjugate the people's of the world leading to constant war. They have constantly spoke of their deceit and angst for other's throughout their historical archives for 2000 years. Wherever they have landed they were welcomed and then decided to kill steal and destroy there's. That speaks to the demonic nature of this group. It is still present to this day with more thought mechanisms under the guise of civility.
The black people will be happy when they will hear this
why? slavic people never did shit to black people, it was the anglo-saxon, french and arabs that enslaved and them
We not like you
Yes because slavery isnt about skin color. It’s about having free labor. These days our free labor comes from east asia, africa, and south america.
Slaves were bought to be wives too
Indeed but also the Prison Inmates USA has the largest Prison Population comprised of Blacks and Latino's who also act as a Source of Cheap sometimes Free Labor
Damn don’t hear this one in the United States. Literally ever.
moral of the story. never forget and never befriend these people
Exactly 👍
Well to explain that he converted Islam in other words, "he turns turk" made me proud of my nation thanks to my religion
You have to remember, slavery treatment in the Middle East was not the same in the America’s. The slave was a part of the household. They walked freely throughout the cities, and were quite comfortable compared to slaves in other places. Yes it’s wrong, but don’t think that slaves were being whipped and stepped on. You can convert and climb up the social ladder as mentioned in the video. Slaves in America couldn’t vote until 100 years after they were freed
Children were used as sex slaves in the Middle East.
@@bongeyedolly1732 First off no girl under the age of 16 was used as a concubine. If it did happen it was very very very uncommon. And are you saying underage sex wasn’t happening in European and western countries up until the industrial revolution ? There’s no justification for underage sex but it was going on all around the world. Underage sex and child grooming is still practiced by todays social elite. So
What happened to all the black slaves in the muslim world ?
I tell you their balls were cut off.
Islam ended millions of black blood lines.

Truth
Of course during most of this time period Europeans enslaved each other on as great a scale. Within the Mediterranean all nations used slaves to man navies made up of galleys which needed many rowers. The only record we have of a galley slave was from a survivor from the French navy, European navies also raided north African coast and shipping.
Christians didn't raided muslim cities
@@euronbuci3664 Of course they did, why wouldn't they? Not just cities but also shipping around the Mediterranean, the knights hospitaller developed quite the reputation for it.
@@mrmr446 knights hospitallers were not pirates and they hadn't any ships in their disposal
@@euronbuci3664 they did while they were based in Rhodes and then Malta, terrorised shipping throughout the Mediterranean and attacked ships carrying pilgrims on hajj.
@@mrmr446 The Muslims started it so you have no point.
That's nothing compared to White Christian slavery from Africa to the America's numbering well over 12 million including the Native American slave trade, numbering in the tens of millions from the arrival of Columbus down to the British colonial Colonizers architects of Native American genocide. I have myself a direct descendant of both ethic groups.
islamic slave trade had 15 million africans enslaved and lasted twice as long as atlantic slave trade .
The arab slave trade was the biggest slave trade in human history
@@theuniverse5173 The European Slave Trade was the largest easily a total of 1 Million White Europeans by Arabs as opposed to 12 Million Black Africans do the math sir
@@theuniverse5173 and how did it operate? Africans sold slaves to Arabs, and Europeans sold slaves to Arabs, mainly Slavs.
The "Arab slave trade" had nothing to do with race but was just the continuation of normal business between civilizations, nobody cared about your "race".
The slavery we saw in North America and similar was very different to this.
@@aq4356the Slavery we had in America wasn’t that bad. It’s exaggerated from black people wanting to be forever oppressed.
