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.
