The war with Tripoli in Libya happened during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson in the late 18th century and was a result of the incessant attacks on shipping from Christian lands which had been going on for hundreds of years. The Barbary pirates as they were called were based in the north African states of Tripoli, Tunisia and Morocco and sponsored by the rulers of these states: the newly independent United States decided to put and end to these attacks as a result of American shipping being targetted too.The American government decided to support a pretender to the Tripoli throne called Hamet and sent a fleet to that port. The enterprise was completely successful in the end.

What was the main consequence of the defeat of the turkish fleet at the battle of lepanto of 1571?
At the Battle of Lepanto, the Holy League lost 50 galleys and suffered approximately 13,000 casualties. This was offset by the freeing of a similar number of Christian slaves from the Ottoman ships. In addition to the death of Ali Pasha, the Ottomans lost 25,000 killed and wounded and an additional 3,500 captured. Their fleet lost 210 ships, of which 130 were captured by the Holy League. Coming at what was seen as a crisis point for Christianity, the victory at Lepanto stemmed Ottoman expansion in the Mediterranean and prevented their influence from spreading west.
Who controlled Palestine before world war 2?
"Before WW2" is a lot of historical landscape. Here's a simple breakdown:As the answerer below identified, Britain was the last foreign power in control of the region known collectively as Palestine. Before them it was held by the Ottoman Turks, given to them after the British took it back from Muhammad Ali Pasha of Egypt and the Sudan. Muhammad Ali took it from Abdullah Pasha of Acre who was given the region by the Ottomans. Saladin held it at the end of the Crusades, after he took it from the Fatmids in 1187, who took it from the Seljuk Empire in 1098. The Fatmids held it for a time before the Seljuk Empire, after they took it from the Abbasid Caliphate in 878, who had taken it from the Umayyad Caliphate in 750. The Rashidun Caliphate, the legacy of none other than the son in law and nephew of the Prophet controlled the region until it passed to the Umayyad. The Byzantines owned the region until 628, having taken it from the Sassanids, who taken it from the Palmyrene Empire, who had been given the region by Constantine. The Eastern Roman Empire had acquired the region with the fall of the west under Rome, who held the area and had broken it up into five regions. Before the Romans, the area known as Palestine had been kicked around and passed back and forth by nearly every ancient kingdom and empire in the area from before it was conquered by Alexander the Great. Before Alexander, it was held by Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Babylonia, Judah, and Israel. Biblically speaking, before Israel moved in, it was a loose arrangement of local cities that were held by a variety of tribal groups.
Bad leaders in world war 1?
There were many bad leaders in World War 1. Sir Douglas Haig is known as one of the worst generals during this war, mainly because he authorized offensives that cost a lot of lives. In his defence it has to be said that not a single Allied or German general at that time had any experience with (or an effective answer to) the kind of trench warfare that had been developing. Other 'bad' leaders that deserve mention are the German kaiser Wilhelm II and German general Ludendorff. The first because he never used his authority to give any kind of direction to events and allowed Germany to change from a democracy to a military dictatorship in the last years of the war; the latter because he was the one making himself the military dictator, allowing Germany's economy to go down the drain, keeping German soldiers fighting even when he knew things had become hopeless and finally refusing to accept responsibility for Germany's defeat when it came.

Who is pasha of tripoli?
North African leader who fought against the U.S. from 1801-05 The Pasha or Bashaw was Yusuf Karamanli who has seized power in Tripoli by ousting his older brother Hamet. He was the first foreign leader to declare war on the United States (1800). It was a thinly veiled action to extort tribute from America to protect the expanding merchant marine. The United States had just successfully concluded the Quasi War with France (1798-1800), also to protect the merchant marine. This had been an undeclared naval war. The Pasha formally declared war. President Jefferson and the Republicans were in the process of disbanding the fledgling United States Navy and laying up or selling the vessels when The Pasha had the bad timing of declaring war. He in effect saved the U.S, Naby from destruction. A good description of the events can be found at: http://histclo.com/essay/war/bp/abw/abw1.html
