"Overview
Jefferson's War: How the U.S. Navy Earned Its First Overseas Win
Yes, the U.S. won the Barbary Wars, ending the piracy and extortion by the North African states through decisive naval actions and treaties that asserted American sovereignty, although the First War (1801-1805) ended with a ransom payment, and the Second (1815) concluded with a more humiliating treaty for the pirates, establishing the U.S. as a power willing to defend its interests abroad.
Key Outcomes:
First Barbary War (1801-1805): The U.S. Navy blockaded Tripoli, and a joint U.S. Marine/local forces assault captured the city of Derna, forcing the Pasha to sign a treaty. While the U.S. paid $60,000 USD for prisoner release, it ended annual tribute payments to Tripoli.
Second Barbary War (1815): After the War of 1812, Commodore Stephen Decatur decisively defeated the Algerians, forcing them into a treaty that abolished all future tribute and demanded restitution.
Long-Term Impact: The wars demonstrated the U.S. Navy's growing strength, established America's refusal to pay tribute, and signaled its emergence as a world power capable of projecting force overseas.
In essence, the U.S. achieved its military and strategic goals, fundamentally changing the dynamic with the Barbary States and gaining respect on the international stage, even if the initial peace terms weren't perfectly clean."
Not counting Iran, which can be counted as long overdue, justified retaliation by the U.S. and Israel.

South Asia (Afghanistan/Kashmir): The Taliban maintains control in Afghanistan, amidst conflict with ISIS-K, while various extremist groups operate in Kashmir.
Global Reach: Groups continue to inspire or direct attacks globally, with incidents reported in Europe and Russia.
