The Barbary Coast , or Berber Coast, was the term used by Europeans from the 16th until the

19th century to refer to much of the collective land of the Berber people . Today, the term

Maghreb corresponds roughly to "Barbary". The term "Barbary Coast" emphasizes the Berber 

coastal reg ions and cities throughout the middle and western coastal regions of North Africa –

what is now Morocco, Alge ria, Tunisia, and Libya. The English term "Barbary" (and its European

varieties: Barbaria, Berbérie, etc.) referred mainly to the entire Berber lands including non-coastal

regions, deep into the continent. This is clearly the case in European geographical and political

maps published during the 17–20th centuries.[1]

The name is clearly derived from the Berber people of north Africa. In the West, the name

commonly evoked the Barbary pirates and Barbary Slave Traders base d on that coast, who

attacked ships and co astal settlements in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic and captured and

traded slaves or goods from Europe, America and sub-Saharan Africa .[2 ] The slaves and

goods were b eing traded and so ld throughout the O ttoman Empire or to the Europeans

themselves.

History

"Barbary" was not always a unified po litical e ntity. From the 16th century onwards, it was d ivided

into the familiar political entities of the Regency o f Algiers , Tunis, and Tripolitania (Tripoli). Major 

rulers during the times of the Barbary states' plundering pa rties were the Pasha or Dey of 

 Algie rs, the Bey of Tunis and the Bey of Tripoli, all subjec ts, who were anxious to get rid of the

Ottoman sultan, but who were de facto independent rulers.[citation needed ]

Before then, the territory was usually d ivided between Ifriqiya, Morocco, and a west-central

 Alge rian state centered on Tlemcen or Tiaret. Powerful Berber dynasties such as the  Almohads,

and b riefly the Hafsids, occa sionally unified it for short periods . From a European perspective its

"capital" or chief city was often considered to be Tripoli in modern-day Libya, although

Marrakesh in Morocco was the large st and most important Berber city at the time. In add ition,

 Algie rs in Algeria and Tangiers in Morocco were also sometimes seen as the "capital".

The first United States military land action overseas, executed by the U.S. Marines and Navy,

was the Battle of Derne , Tripoli, in 1805. It was an effort to destroy all of the Barbary pirates, free

the American slaves in cap tivity, and put an end to piracy acts be tween these warring tribes on

the part of the Barbary states. The opening line o f the "Marine's Hymn" refers to this action:

"From the halls of Montez uma to the shores of Tripoli..."
