Years: 1684 - 1827
The effectiveness of Tripoli's corsairs had long since deteriorated, but their reputation alone is enough to prompt European maritime states to pay the tribute extorted by the pasha to ensure safe passage of their shipping through Tripolitanian waters.
American merchant ships, no longer covered by British protection, are seized by Barbary pirates in the years after United States independence, and American crews are enslaved.
In 1799 the United States agrees to pay Yusuf eighteen thousand dollars US each year in return for a promise that Tripoli-based corsairs will not molest American ships.
Similar agreements are made at the time with the rulers of Morocco, Algiers, and Tunis.
