+From the end of the American Revolution, commercial vessels of the young United +States republic were easy prey for the pirates of the Barbary coast. In 1801, +newly inaugurated President Thomas Jefferson was eager to put an end to this +threat and sent a "squadron of observation" to the Mediterranean. As the +squadron arrived in Gibraltar, they learned that the bashaw of Tripoli had +already declared WAR! + +

+The Shores of Tripoli plays out this exciting episode of Early American +military history. As the United States, one player will pressure Tripolitania +to allow the free movement of American merchant vessels - or face the +consequences. As the bashaw of Tripoli, the other player will continue the +lucrative piracy of the fearsome corsairs while countering the American threat +on land and sea. + +
