Original Note:
The American-Algerian war was a state of conflict where Barbary states attacked US merchant ships. Despite these direct attacks, the US had no Navy and after failing to have others safeguard shipping, continually sued for peace ultimately paying a tribute for safe passage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American%E2%80%93Algerian_War_(1785%E2%80%931795)
