The Dutch–Barbary war, also referred to as the Dutch–Algerian war (1618–1622), was a conflict that originated from the activities of Barbary pirates targeting Dutch vessels. In response to these attacks, the Dutch launched several expeditions aimed at putting an end to the attacks on Dutch vessels and safeguarding their ships. Ultimately, these efforts proved successful as both nations recognized the significance of peace in maintaining a prosperous economy.
