As they both came under pressure from Western countries, they decided to establish friendly relations between them and consequently they started to exchange visits. The most important of these visits was the mission sent by Abdul Hamid II (reigned 1876-1909) to Japan on board Al Togrul ship which carried more than six hundred officers and soldiers led by admiral Uthman Pasha in 1890. On the homeward journey, after the mission was successfully accomplished in Japan and meeting Japanese emperor, a fierce hurricane fell on the ship while it was still in Japanese waters, causing the death of more than 550 people including the Sultan’s brother. The disaster deeply moved both sides and the survivors were carried on board of two Japanese ships to Istanbul. The martyrs were buried at the site of the accident and a museum was set up not far from the accident site. Japanese and Turks still celebrate this event until today at the same site of the accident every five years despite successive change of governments. Along the ship with the survivors going home, a young Japanese journalist by the name of Shotaro Noda who raised donations in Japan for the martyrs families, left for Istanbul, handed these donations to Turkish authorities and even met Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who asked him to stay in Istanbul and teach Japanese to ottoman officers. During his stay in Istanbul, he met Abdullah Guillaume, an English Muslim from Liverpool, Britain who introduced Noda to Islam. Quite convinced after a lengthy discussion that Islam is the truth, Noda embraced Islam and chose to be named Abdul Haleem, as Turkish document at back of the present pamphlet shows. In fact, Abdul Haleem Noda could be considered the first Japanese Muslim. Soon afterwards, another Japanese called Torajiro Yamada went to Istanbul in 1893 to give donations he had collected back home to the martyrs families in Turkey. Following his conversion to Islam, being the second Japanese person to embrace Islam, he changed his name to Khaleel, or maybe Abdul Khaleel. He stayed in Istanbul several years doing business and kept friendly relations with Turkey after coming home until his death. The third Japanese person to embrace Islam was a Christian merchant by the name of Ahmad Ariga. He visited Bombay, India in 1900. The beautiful sight of a Mosque there attracted his attention, he went in and declared his conversion to Islam. During this period, a number of Indian Muslim merchants lived in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kobe, they are considered to be the first Muslim community in Japan.'

I think the Icelanders defense of Bessastaðir honestly deserves more credit. After having heard about the attack on Grindavík the local authorities knew they were pretty much fucked as they had pretty much no means to defend themselves. They had two outdated canons and pretty much no weapons to speak of (Guns were outlawed in Iceland and the Danes did not spend overly much on the countries defense) but they were determined to make a stand. So they began preparing. They rounded all horses they could get their hands on and carved spears from what little wood they had. There plan was to repel the invaders with a cavalry charge. Problem was they had almost no saddles designed for cavalry charges (with back support so you dont get thrown off at the first charge) So what they did was dig up virtually any saddle with any back support whatsoever most of which were side saddles, You know the type designed for women in dresses. They than moved the canons to a turf fort they constructed and then they waited. The enemy ships attempted to land but got stranded on the beach and that was the time when the Icelanders began firing their canons. You can imagine them stranded on a beach being fired upon by canons and above on the hill a small group of poor farmers in rags, sitting on their horses, some sideways as if they were wearing dresses and some with no saddle at all, holding makeshift spears and ready to charge. Well the pirates decided to abandon this attacks and began moving people and cargo from the stranded ship to the other all while being pampered with canon fire.
I'm not sure but I think I can tell what you're trying to do. Your "dutch leadership" was one guy. The rest were algerians and tunisians working for the ottomans of north africa. The other invasions in portugal, spain and almost the entire west didn't have any dutch pirate with them. So can't you shut up please? I'm not sure but I think I can tell what you're trying to do. Secondly you think of those pirates as actual pirates instead of what they were which is privateers like the barbary corsairs of the ottoman empire who were also involved in piracy. So this is where the name "barbary pirates" is coming from you genius. Those people weren't saying "argh" and also didn't wear eye patches. The barbary corsairs were part of the ottoman navy.
Yeah cuz attacking the Icelanders, The malnourished, mistreated, battered and beaten, starving colonial subjects of Denmark, who were not even allowed to own fire arms to defend their land and yet got virtually no protection from their overlords. Is so badass it deserves a TV show.
@lunatic. I am not defending viking raids and if you were to read about Icelandic history you'd find out that during the viking age we were mostly busy founding and maintaining our republic, rather than going out on raids. And even if we were that was 600 years prior how are 17th century Icelanders in any way responsible for the crimes committed during the Viking era? Artilary? You mean the two outdated canons in Bessastaðir? and the one not working canon in Vestmaneyjar? When the Icelanders fought of the raiders at Bessastaðir they did so by cutting out spears from wood, rounding up horses that were not trained for cavalry usage and mounting them with whatever saddle they could find. You see you cant just do cavalry charges with any type of saddle. You need one with back support so that you dont go flying off it as soon as your spears hit your opponent. Well the Icelanders had almost no saddle that was designed for this. So they resulted to using side saddles (saddles designed for women in dresses) who had some back support. So to sum up the defense of Bessastaðir was done with 2 outdated canons, fortifications made from turf and about a Two dozen poor farmers in rags effectively riding ponies, sitting sideways in saddles designed for ladies, with sharpened sticks as weapons and somehow they still managed to fight the pirates off. Stop kidding yourself there is nothing badass about the pirate raids of Iceland.
@lunatic. Iceland also got raided by the British during the Napoleonic wars and it was naval blockaded multiple times including ww1 and they were invaded and occupied by the British during ww2 and had 3 cod wars against the British in the 60's and 70's (All of which it won btw)
Slavic rulers raided the Vikings. Circa 1100 a Polish ruler called Racibor very successfully raided Danish and Swedish ports (Konungahela). He took a lot of loot and slaves.
I've been to Algiers, visited their national museum, found a document in Danish - a peace treaty by Christian VII (iirc) asking to please leave our ships alone. 😂

Sadly there weren't any cultural exchanges that came out from these collisions.

There are however some interesting studies on the similarities between Swedish and Turkish that some scholars have debated.

Most non-Icelanders dont know about "Tyrkjaránið"(The Turkish raid) but us Icelanders are taught about this from young age. Also your pronouncation of Icelandic words are so funny, if you want I can send you a vid or audio file of me pronouncing them.
Same with the pronunciation of Jan Janszoon, which wasn’t anywhere near the correct one. They spend a lot of time on research, but can’t be bothered to get the pronunciation right.
@@Hibrahim1 Bro the vikings had been dead for centuries during the turkish raids. And give me examples of christian pirates raiding muslim/turkish settlements because I've never heard of any.
@The_Kimchi_Kommandant in 1607, the Knights of Saint Stephen (under Jacopo Inghirami) sacked Bona in Algeria, killing 470 and taking 1,464 captives. This victory is commemorated by a series of frescoes painted by Bernardino Poccetti in the "Sala di Bona" of Palazzo Pitti, Florence. In 1611 Spanish galleys from Naples, accompanied by the galleys of the Knights of Malta, raided the Kerkennah Islands off the coast of Tunisia and took away almost 500 Muslim captives. Between 1568 and 1634 the Knights of Saint Stephen may have captured about 14,000 Muslims, with perhaps one-third taken in land raids and two-thirds taken on captured ships.
@The_Kimchi_Kommandant maybe you need to go back to the history books because Christians raided Muslim settlements all the time. This wasn't a one-way street, buddy.
@@ryanmarlin2974 Christian raids on Muslim settlements were isolated events while Muslim raids on Christian settlements were deliberate, systematic, funded, and much bigger in scale. You simply cannot compare the two. And even if they were the same (which they are not) Muslims have attacked Christians far more frequently historically than vice versa. Maybe YOU need to pick up a history book.
A N yup, and it’s stayed like that now in a way. Turks who are from turkey aren’t actually Turks, but turkey was used to designate them for so long it’s stuck Here is a better and edited version Most modern day Turks aren’t fully (although genetically may be partially) related to the original Turks, however they did leave a big impact culturally. Turks in the east tend to also share more genetically with the original Turks. The reason there is confusion is because of the interchangeability of the word Turk back in medieval times, you have to remember the Ottoman Empire was vast and contained many ethnic groups who in the end gained a similar culture. So most modern Turks are Greek in ethnicity, but culturally they are what is now called Turks.
@@cromabu5090 Upu have no clue what your talking about... Better educate yourself with factual information. Majority of people living in Turkey are from the Turkish tribe (1 of 4) Oghuz Turks. Which itself exists of 24 Clans.
@@mucuk5383 I dont know if you have noticed, but Oghuz Turks have Asian features and the Turks in general originate from Central Asia. The modern Turks however look mediteranian, especially the ones who live in the western parts of Turkey who "suspiciously" look like Southern Europeans such as Greeks/Italians or even Middle Eastern. If you combine this fact with the fact that there have been many conversions throughout the Ottoman Empire years, it wouldnt be completely crazy or ignorant to suggest such a thing. Nevertheless, you shouldnt become too upset with that as not many nations are completely "pure" anyway, especially in the region that Turkey is located.
@@stratvar My problem is not of being not pure or something else. My problem is with your generalizing argument based upon nothing but on looks of individuals. Ever heard of a thing called historical fact or genetical science?? Turks officially entered Anatolia 949 years ago and unofficially probably a couple hundreds years before that. On top of this the Turks started leaving the Altai steps at least 1600 years ago, where they showed Asian body/face features the most. So the Turks left their homeland circa 1600 years ago came across numerous different races and mingled with, but their body/face features should have stayed the same according to your logic or else they are not of the Turkish rpeople. Thats just otter nonesense.
The raids were not a relevant enough endeavor to involve the Ottoman army/Navy. The endeavors were done by tge barbary states whose political position within the Ottoman was closer to that of a tributary or protectorate than a vassal or that of an area under direct Ottoman administration. That said the bulk of the Ottoman fleet was not made for the high seas and risking even a portion of it on a raid on a nation they had no quarrel with or that could provide them with something useful to strengthen their position in the med or provide sustainable peofit was somewhat senseless
@@GAndreC It was probably not significant enough for the Danes either to send their official navy or army. The good thing for the pirates about Iceland was its isolation and low population compared with mainland Europe.
Calling it Ottoman raids would be a stretch too far. These lands were under Ottoman rule but the pirates were Arabs, not Turks. The Turks were too occupied dreaming about invading Vienna.
I expect some the Dutch had great nautical experience hence of some value to their captors. Some would have preferred being a renegade to life as a slave...
Excellent effort - but there has only ever been one village in the Vestmann islands - on Heimaey, the island that suffered a volcanic eruption on 23. jan. 1973. Point of interest: among the captives in the Barabary raid of 1627, was a woman named Guðríður Símonardóttir. Ten years later, she was released from captivity and a young minister, studying in Copenhagen, was employed to "re-educate" the small group. The two of them fell in love and were later married despite her being his senior by 16 years. His name was Hallgrímur Pétursson and he is considered Icelands greatest religious poet. The tall church, that is so symbolic of Reykjavik, is Hallgrímskirkja "the church of Hallgrímur" in his honour.

The Barbary pirates were not really renegades, they were state-sponsored by the Barbary states, who ran the entire coast of North Africa. Piracy was the main financial activity of these states at that time.
Siblings of ''Mourad Reis'' are living in USA, today. One of his son made it to the new world. Can trace his family line tru court judgement book records :)
A fun fact (well sort of) is that when they tried to get some of the slaves back many of them did not really want to go back. First of all the weather is much nicer in Morocco and Algeria and there were all sorts of amenities like fruits and spices, available in north Africa that most Icelanders at the time could only dream about. Not to downplay the abduction part but to many the thought of turning back to serfdom and subsistence farming in the frozen north seemed like a worse deal down the line.
Icelandic historian with a bit more context: Iceland is a huge island, despite what maps say. Iceland is 103k square kilometers (England by comparison is 130k sqkm and with a population of 56 million more people than Iceland). It is also the windiest place on the planet (that's not the N-/S-pole) and sailing is still dangerous even to modern ships. And this, coupled with aggressively unpredictable weather and treacherous seas, means that the general consensus is that this was much like Caesar crossing the Rhine. Less about achieving anything and more of an exercise in "because we can - and you can't". Secondly: "Hvalnes" means "peninsula of whales" and was for centuries a very popular trading post and resupply station. The modern day capital of Reykjavík was a minor village at the time and Bessastaðir (literally Bessi's place or place of Bessi) was the central administrative hub of the country and still where the president of Iceland lives.
They also raided the English south coast and depopulated the Irish town of Baltimore in 1637. This was the period when Charles I was raising ship money for the navy but instead of building smaller ships that might have been useful against such pirates, he built The Sovereign of the Seas, the biggest, most powerful and prestigious ship in the world but not much use against pirates. One thing of note in Icelandic pronunciation. The funny reversed d like character with the tale is Thorne and is pronounced TH.
1600s wasn't that when the Brits and Moroccans were buddies, Queen and sultan calling each others brother and sister and planning on invading Spain lol
There's even a song dedicated to these raids called Tyrkjaranid, which is actually really good. It's hard to be mad though considering the Vikings of the Scandinavian lands did the same to various North African Arabs back in the early medieval age.
@@SuperGamli Yes, as Zenata said. Just search on Viking raids in Seville. Swediah vikings also raided Persia as far as Baghdad. Ingun far traveled spearheaded those ventures.

It's worth noting that unlike the Atlantic slave trade which needed labour to man the vast plantations of the Americas, the primary aim of these raids was to acquire mainly female sex slaves (slaves for labour or galleys were typically taken from Africa and Ottoman minorities which were cheaper). White women were in high demand throughout the Muslim world. Muslim rulers typically housed these slaves in Harems. When the Europeans curtailed the Barbary pirates (mainly with brutal conquest, most famously of Algiers which refused to stop) and sponsored revolutions in the Balkans, the Ottomans starter using and selling Circassian women from the Caucasus as slaves. They were prized for their blonde hair and blue eyes... They were doing this until the first world war. It's funny how the history slavery is so focused on the Trans-Atlantix slave trade.
Primary aim of slave raids was to acquire wealth. These captives would be ransomed, and only if the ransom was not paid, then they would be sold in slave markets. Minorities in Ottoman Empire were protected subjects, they were never enslaved, but only periodically recruited into the Devshirme system. Females were not enslaved in Ottoman Empire for sexual reasons, as it's claimed. Female slaves were employed for domestic duties, they would be nannies, wetnurses, musicians etc. and those who were attractive could marry a Muslim man (consensually).
@@95bekirable Nonsense. A total of 1.8 million white slaves were traded in the Muslim world over a period of 500 years. The vast majority of those slaves were (70%+) female. In the Ottoman Empire, the main focus of slavery, particularly post 1700s, was sexual. Slaves were valued on their sexual qualities. There are plenty of primary sources on the matter. Devrishme was also used to procure sex slaves not only soldier slaves and administrator slaves (who were often forcibly converted and castrated against their will - "consensually" - you loser) I suppose you will also argue that harems were an educational establishment like Erdogans wife.
@@95bekirable You mean they would take a risky raid across dangerous seas just to get their wives househelps when they could just have paid local servants from the riches they stole in their raids???? LOL.
Jan Janszoon van Haarlem was my 11xGreat-Grandfather. His son, Anthony Janszoon van Sale, was an early immigrant to the New Netherlands. He was know as "The Turk" and was the practicing Muslin. He is the first person known to have brought a copy of the Quran into the New World.
Additional info: You know, in that era, pirates were paid and turned into privateers by countries, thus becoming officers. Those pirates were doing nothing when there's peace and for someone who used to raid, that's kinda boring. It is said that a lot of European pirates joined that fleet of Ottomans to enjoy. I forgot the source but here you go, a cool info :D
another info lots Murad was the leader of the independent Pirate republic of sale (Althou they payed taxes to Morocco ), and almost half of the inhabitants of that republic (more like a city state in todays Morocco's capital ) were European muslims and jews that fled the Reconquita, and became pirates inorder to raid iberian shores inhope of getting back to their homes in Iberia one day.
Yes, privateers were licensed by one nation to attack the ships and ports of another nation. They were mercenaries. Technically, there was a legal difference between pirates and privateers, but this was before the Geneva Conventions and the nations under attack considered both groups as pirates.
@@fyfyi6053 dude the raid started from Sale, they were the pirates of sale with a dutch leader paying tribute to the Moroccan king... (sale is a city in Morocco, basicaly it's part of the capital city of Morocco rabat ) look it up Republic of Salé or Republic of bouregrag
@@robertschill2686 the only difference between them was a Letter of Marque. Basically one group was rogue mercenaries, and the other contracted ones operating under the license of some king or emperor. It's like saying we're both doctors or teachers, but one of us works for the state and the other for the private sector.
The 1627 raid was the result of a bet between the Sale & Algiers captains - the winner of the bet was the one who came back to Algiers (not Sale) with the most booty. The corsair captain from Sale, Morocco in 1627 was Morat Rais - in fact, he was Jan Jansen van Haarlem from the Netherlands and lived in Morocco for over 40 years. He was the subject of the Dutch National Opera "Le Blond Arabier" (I think) about 10 or 15 years ago as he is a Dutch National hero. The story of his forced conversion in 1618 is a fabrication; he converted in 1600 while in Cartagena and married Marjarit bint Abd al-Rahman on 12 Aug 1600 (his 2nd wife). Jan created the story to be eligible for Dutch citizenship in 1621, not for him, but for his children since they would be Dutch also. Under the recently adopted laws of the newly recognized Republic - it had to be a forced conversion and less than 3 years earlier - so he made it up and succeeded; his son Anthony moved to Amsterdam and then New Amsterdam in 1629. Morocco was never under Ottoman rule. I know more than just about anyone else about Jan - I've translated and read every known and just found book, note, article, letter, and journal that exists from Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, & Arabic from 1610 to today. He's my ancestor and I'm writing the definitive story of his life right now; I've visited his house in Oualidia as well as his kasbah and will be visiting his place in Sale as well.
Well I have to note this little fact down that Turks did not really fight themselves they rather sponsored who wanted to fight against the Holy Leauge aka Europe. The Janissary for example were mainly converted boys of poor christian families. As an army, Jannisaries got the Ancient Rome kind of model. Otherwise, the original Turkic army was the horse riding nomads but that was abandoned after the collapse of Seljuks. Then the following dynasty "House of Osman" or in English "House of Ottoman" adopted the Roman or Greek way, whichever you prefer. Additionally, main group of clergy and the ruling class were also converted christian or jewish ottomans yet the ruling family and the core of the empire remained Turkic. After some time during the rule of Suleyman I this core population in Anatolia was moved to balkans to create an empire resembling the Hellenic times. Make no mistake amigos, even though the Turks were the Turks, the ruling class was really fond of Alexander the great and wanted to create an empire like his empire. It is evident that Suleyman I grew up with this dream. The plan itself was simple. First take over Mecca and Medina in order to control all muslims which they did. Then take over Constantinapole then you got the Orthodox Christian population which they also did somehow. And then finally take over the Vatican and take over the entire holy league. Mehmed II. tried to invade Vatican with the Campaign of Otranto but he was successfully assasinated by the Templar Knights. The siege was cut short because of that. Right about a hundred years later Suleyman I. tried to invade Vienna, which had the original purpose of opening the road for Vatican but it failed miserably. Then some magical shit happened and Colombus stumble upon the Americas where he retardedly thought was "India". After this point the fight was on the sea and shit got sorrow for the Turks. With the riches they brought from Americas, Portugese and Spanish fleets trapped the Ottomans in the Meditterenean using their economic superiority. With additional discovery of Cape Town Europeans did not have to pay any taxes for using the meditterenean anymore. Upon these developments the empire decayed in right about 200 years and ended at 1923 officially.
@@valeriemacphail9180 No. Ataturk was the leader. An organization called Kuvay'i Milliye sprung out of chaos and formed the foundations of Turkey by fighting against the imperialism as a whole. Ataturk was the commander of the armies during this endeavour. Then he did the most logical thing and formed a republic and gave the power to the people who took arms upon the enemy when necessary. Make no mistake, throughout the 10.000 (approximately) years of Turkic history there had been countless heroes like Ataturk who emerged from the chaos such as Mete Khan, Kubilay Khan, Mehmed II, etc... Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is one guy from long lineage of badass commanders yet it was always the people who decided the follow these badass men which gave them an unstoppable power.
It should be „Kingdom of Denmark-Norway“, which was a union of two Crowns. Iceland was an integral part of the Kingdom of Norway up until the Napoleonic wars. Calling it all Denmark is like calling Ireland „England“.
Nope Norway was officially incorporated into the kingdom of Denmark in the year 1537 on the orders of Cristian III. and by an extension Iceland, Greenland and Faroe islands from that point onward were considerd part of the kingdom of Denmark. Even then, after 1380 Iceland was in practical terms under the rule of Denmark, because ever since the Icelandic commonwealth swore fealty to Norway in 1262 Iceland had been governed completely sepperately of Norway, Iceland had its own parliament the Alþingi and its own set of laws and they maintained the right to veto any decisions of the crown made in Iceland. Even when King Magnús Hákonarson of Norway tried to centralise the Norwegian legal system and unify all of Norway under one parliament, Iceland and Faroe Islands kept their own parliments and each got a sepperate legal code of their own. Iceland would keep being governed sepperately until the Icelandic Alþingi would be abolished in 1800 but at that point it had only served as a rubber stamp for centuries. In effect the only thing that united Iceland with Norway was the crown and so when the crown of Norway also became the crown of Denmark, Iceland was only considered part of Norway as a technicality, but was in all practical terms part of Denmark and most official documents regarding Iceland from the time reflect that fact.

The pirate campaign towards Iceland started from Morocco, where some Moroccan pirates and European slaves formed a pirate republic in Salé and had nothing to do with the Barbarossa brothers loyal to the Ottoman Empire

First of all there was no morroco back then. Second, the republic of salé was founded by the moors fleeing from spain. The republic of salé had a lot of commercial ties with algiers and many algerian rais went back and forth between salé and algiers. The sultan of fez did not have good relationship with salé which was independent. In fact he teamed up with the spaniards to fight salé and algiers.
Piracy started before the existence of the salé pirates who formed an independent republic allied to the Sultan of Morocco The pirates weren't only Moroccans, they were made up of Europeans turks and Andalucian refugees first later on the ethnic Moroccans joined.
Fun trivia: a lot of pirates were empoverished refugees who fled general persecution up to genocide in Spain towards the end of the Reconquista & in an especially big wave after the fall of Granada.
Literally 75% of the Empire was administrated by Europeans. The Sultans were mostly Greek in origin, along with some Slavic and Albanian influence and the people followed a weird trend called Bektashism which is a mixture of Christianity, Balkan folklore and Islam really
Fun fact: It is called privateer, and almost every country before 19th century is doing it. You can read another history about how the dutch, british, and other country doing it in Asia and Africa.
@@jubarex2409 Europeans didn't consider their pirates as pirates, and Moroccans and Ottomans didn;t consider their pirates as pirates. normal phenomenon
@@norbertfontaine8524 The european stop their privateering first because of the Industrial revolution in the UK which cause privateering obsolete in an economic perspective.
It's so weird to see just how differently people view literally slave raids depending on who doing them. Europeans buy slaves: "worst crime in human history! Effects to this day!" Anyone else raiding Europe for slaves: *celebration of the slavers and mockery of the victims, quickly forgotten*
Would be nice to see a video about Vikings getting raided. In 1137 Polish ruler Racibor with tens of ships very successfully raided Danish and Swedish ports. After which he took off with a lot of loot and slaves.
The Safavid Dynasty may be of Turkic origin (not Turkish), but their empire was Persian without a doubt. It used Persian as an official language, Persians were the majority both in general population and in the elites. Safavids themselves called their empire "Iran", so it was an Iranian empire ruled by a dynasty of Turkic origin.
@@Radonatorr Administrative language of the Ottomans was also Arabic. That does not mean they are Arabic, does it? Early Safavids were talking Turkic more than Ottomans. Since the talking language was Persian for Ottomans for diplomacy.
@@emrenuriyev9132 Of course, that's why Safavids were for sure of Turkic origin and I admited that. But saying that Safavid Empire was not Iranian or Persian, but Turkish is like saying that the Qing Empire was not a Chinese state but a Manchurian one, just because its ruling dynasty was of Manchurian origin. The Manchurians that conquered China were quickly sinicized. The same happened to the Safavids. While the early Safavids were indeed speaking a turkic language related to Turkish and Azeri (tho they knew Persian as well) they were quickly persianized and by the time of the events described in this video they could be hardly considered Turkic, nor could their empire.
@@emrenuriyev9132 are you stupid, ottoman official language was turkish, but alphabet arabic, arabs can not read ottoman documents. now turkish alphabet is latin, italians can not understand turkish documents
More like 20 peasants in rags with hastily sharpened sticks for spears, riding horses that were not trained for warfare and two bearly functional canons with limited Ammo: "No you will not"
@@jax2728 No , Morocco wasn't under the ottomans rule, But There was pirates in Morocco in the cities Of Tetouan , Laarach , Sale ( the one he mentioned in the video ) and El jadida and Essaouira , But the one he's talking about in The video The Pirates of Sale , but at that time the city of Sale was independent ( like a city state )
