    • Ep. 16 | Naval Superiority: When The U.S. Navy Became a Superpower
      Feb 3 2026

      Before America became a superpower, it was being extorted by pirates.


      In the late 1700s, the newly independent United States faced a humiliating choice: pay massive tribute to North African pirates or watch American sailors be enslaved in foreign dungeons. At one point, nearly 20% of the entire federal budget was going to protection money.
      This is the story of how a young nation said “enough”—twice.


      Discover the forgotten conflict that forged the US Navy, sent Marines “to the shores of Tripoli,” and established American foreign policy for centuries to come. From Thomas Jefferson’s controversial military actions to Stephen Decatur’s daring nighttime raid, from years of paying ransoms to a decisive three-month war that changed everything.


      You’ll learn:
      • Why European powers had been paying tribute to Barbary pirates for centuries
      • How American sailors survived brutal captivity in North African prisons• What happened during the dramatic 4-year First Barbary War (1801-1805)
      • Why the problem wasn’t actually solved—and how it got worse during the War of 1812
      • How Commodore Decatur crushed the Barbary fleet in summer 1815
      • The lasting impact these wars had on American identity and military doctrine


      Perfect for history enthusiasts, military history buffs, or anyone who’s wondered what that line in the Marine Corps hymn actually means.
