Dagaalkii ugu horeeyay ee Barbary. Dadaalkii ugu horeeyay ee maamulku wuxuu ahaa mid aan waxtar lahayn, sanadkii 1803 markabka waxaa qabsaday Tripoli. Bishii Febraayo 1804, Lieutenant Stephen Decatur wuxuu hogaamiyay duulaan guul leh oo lagu qaaday dekedda Tripoli oo gubtay "Philadelphia", taasoo ka dhigtay Decatur halyeey qaran.
