Scenarios about 'Barbary Coast'
The Barbary Coast refers to the North African regions of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya that were notorious for piracy and slave trading from the 16th to 19th centuries. These Muslim states conducted raids on European shipping and coastal towns, capturing vessels and enslaving Christians, which prompted several military responses from European powers and the young United States. In alternate history scenarios, the Barbary Coast often serves as a focal point for exploring different outcomes of naval conflicts, earlier colonization of North Africa, or altered development of international maritime law.
