Ok so I'm currently doing the rewrite for the highly botched original Barbary War for Ameriwank.

The summary of the history is
  • In Tripoltania, the Navy and Marines take Tripoli and install Hamet Karamalani over the (now) dead Yussif Karamanli.
  • The Dey of Tunis is basically bought off to become pro-US
  • The Dey of Algiers resisted US demands, lost the Battle of Algiers, "convinced" to abdicate and a Democracy was established with the intent that the US would sweep in and take over before to long
  • In Morocco the unpopular Sultan Slimane I went mad through Order of Freedom intervention, attacked the US fleet in a highly unpopular move which paved the way for the twice proclaimed but never crowned Hicham to launch a successful 2nd civil war and set up a pro-US government favorable to annexation.
How does the Ottoman Empire react to all of these proceedings occuring in what is nominally its territory? Would it be enough for war? I understand that these areas (except for Morroco and Algeria (?)) are all technically tied to the OE but I'm unsure as to the extent.

Any advice or takes on the situation would help greatly and if anyone wants to read the update I have already done (but am willing to fix), it is in the writer's forum under "The Complete United States of Ameriwank"

Also, I made this map to display battles, is it accurate?
