"Barbary" redirects here. For the footballer, see Barrie Barbary . For the Vonda McIntyre novel, see Barbary (novel). "Berberia" redirects here. For the butterfly genus, see Berberia (genus). For other uses, see Barbary Coast (disambiguation) . The Barbary Coast , or Berber Coast, was the term used by Europeans from the 16th until the 19th century to refer to much of the collective land of the Berber people . Today, the term Maghreb corresponds roughly to "Barbary". The term "Barbary Coast" emphasiz es the Berber coastal regions and cities throughout the middle and western coastal regions of North Africa what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. The English term "Barbary" (and its European varieties: Barbaria, Berbrie, etc.) referred mainly to the entire Berber lands including non- coastal regions, deep into the continent. This is clearly the case in European geographical and political maps published during the 1720th centuries.[1] The name is clearly derived from the Berber people of north Africa. In the West, the name commonly evoked the Barbary pirates and Barbary Slave Traders based on that coast, who attacked ships and coastal settlements in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic and captured and traded slaves or goods from Europe, America and sub- Saharan Africa .[2] The slaves and goods were being traded and sold throughout the Ottoman Empire or to the Europeans themselves.

History
"Barbary" was not always a unified political entity. From the 16th century onwards, it was divided into the familiar political entities of the Regency of Algiers , Tunis, and Tripolitania (Tripoli). Major rulers during the times of the Barbary states' plundering parties were the Pasha or Dey of Algiers, the Bey of Tunis and the Bey of Tripoli, all subjects, who were anxious to get rid of the Ottoman sultan, but who were de facto independent rulers. [ citation needed ] Before then, the territory was usually divided between Ifriqiya, Morocco, and a west- central Algerian state centered on Tlemcen or Tiaret. Powerful Berber dynasties such as the Almohads, and briefly the Hafsids, occasionally unified it for short periods. From a European perspective its "capital" or chief city was often considered to be Tripoli in modern- day Libya, although Marrakesh in Morocco was the largest and most important Berber city at the time. In addition, Algiers in Algeria and Tangiers in Morocco were also sometimes seen as the "capital". The first United States military land action overseas, executed by the U.S. Marines and Navy, was the Battle of Derne , Tripoli, in 1805. It was an effort to destroy all of the Barbary pirates, free the American slaves in captivity, and put an end to piracy acts between these warring tribes on the part of the Barbary states. The opening line of the "Marine's Hymn" refers to this action: "From the halls of Montez uma to the shores of Tripoli..."
