There was a brief unfortunate episode a couple of hundred years ago, when the US was as little over twenty years old. Some Africans started capturing American citizens and ships, maybe enslaving some, etc. Really quite unpleasant. The US eventually decided that its best option was invading Morocco. It didn't have a commitment to defend anyone nearby, except the many Americans who traded all over the world. The US has worldwide trade and interests now too, more so than in 1805. |
