The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitan War and the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two Barbary Wars.

In this war, the United States and Sweden fought against the four North African states known collectively as the “Barbary States”.

April–May 1805, the Battle of Derna was a pivotal point in the war. Ex-consul William Eaton, a former Army captain who used the title of “general”, and the United States Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon led a force of eight U.S. Marines and five hundred mercenaries—Greeks from Crete, Arabs, and Berbers—on a march across the desert from Alexandria, Egypt, to capture the Tripolitan city of Derna. This was the first time the United States flag was raised in victory on foreign soil. The action is memorialized in a line of the Marines’ Hymn—”the shores of Tripoli”. The capturing of the city gave American negotiators leverage in securing the return of hostages and the end of the war.
