Treaty with Tunis (1797)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty with Tunis was signed on August 28, 1797, between the United States of America and the "Barbary State" of Tunis, nominally part of the Ottoman Empire. As the treaty provided in Article One:
- There shall be a perpetual and constant peace between the United States of America and the magnificent Pasha, Bey of Tunis, and also a permanent friendship, which shall more and more increase.
The treaty provided protection to Americans at a cost higher than the Treaty of Tripoli imposed.
