We went to war with Tripoli pretty quickly though, you know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War Calling them the longest standing ally sort of suggests they've been an ally the whole time.

You want to call a nation our oldest ally it's probably France.

Except we kinda had a monkeywrench thrown in that alliance pretty early on too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-War

E: Like Joementum said, France's international relations were... interesting for a bit there.

Not gonna lie, I want to see a good solid historical miniseries about the Haitian Revolution. Intrigue! War! Betrayal! More intrigue! More betrayal! Moral ambiguity by major American historical figures!

Good news! How do you feel about podcasts? Haitian Revolution episodes begin December 6th!

While you wait you can listen to the episodes about the English and American and French Revolutions.
