Dano–Algerian War
The Dano–Algerian War (, ) was a conflict lasting from 1769 to 1772 between Denmark–Norway and the Regency of Algiers. The latter of which was functionally and mostly independent from the Ottoman Empire. It is also known as the Algerian Expedition (), or in Denmark as The War Against Algeria (). Background and beginning of conflict Danish-Norwegian trade in the Mediterranean greatly expanded in the mid-1700s. In order to protect their lucrative business against piracy, Denmark–Norway had secured a peace deal with the states of Barbary Coast, involving the payment of an annual tribute to the individual rulers of those states and additionally to the States. In 1766 Baba Mohammed ben-Osman became Dey of Algiers. He demanded that the annual payment made by Denmark–Norway should be increased, and he should receive new gifts. Denmark–Norway refused the demands. Shortly after, Algerian pirates hijacked three Danish-Norwegian ships and sold the crew into slavery. Response A p ...

Action Of 16 May 1797
The Action of 16 May 1797 was a naval battle that took place near Tripoli in Ottoman Tripolitania (present-day Libya). The Danish squadron was attacked by a Tripolitan squadron that outnumbered them in number of vessels. Background After the newly appointed Bey of Tripoli, Sidi Yussuf, demanded an increased tribute, which essentially constituted a bribe to stop Tripolitans preying on Danish merchant ships. He also captured two Danish vessels, whose crews he sold into slavery. As a result Denmark-Norway sent Captain Lorenz Fisker in the 40-gun frigate ''Thetis'' to Tripoli. He had two missions: first, to escort the annual "gift ship" to Algiers, and second, to secure the freedom of the two Danish vessels and their crews. He arrived at Tripoli on 30 August 1796, but failed to free the captured sailors, or even agree on a ransom price. Action The Danes, therefore, decided to make a second attempt. They sent Captain Steen Andersen Bille in the frigate '' Najaden'' 40 under C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
