England's navy and eventually make it the world's number one sea power. To do this she created the Sea Dogs, also known as "Elizabethan Pirates", who were to go out onto the sea and attack Spanish ships (even in times of peace). Each was given a "Letter of Marque" as permission to deal in these acts of would-be piracy (Wikipedia.org).

Pirates are the most devious, mysterious, harsh fighters who were active in the Caribbean in the 1600s. They had to battle on ships, deal with natural causes, and deal with other pirates. There are two types of pirates, privateers and buccaneers. Privateers were pirates sent by the government. It was basically a legal form of piracy.

During the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries, piracy was rampant in the Atlantic, specifically in the West Indies. Piracy has existed since the earliest days of ocean travel, for a range of personal and economic reasons.

Although some people known as “Enlightened Despots” did not accept the ideas developed by people such as John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries in England, there was a great time of triumph, both militarily and economically. Turning the page into the eighteenth century, England was beginning to gain larger land assets globally. This was happening primarily through an alliance between England, Portugal, and the Netherlands siding with the holy Roman empire against Spain and France in the War of Spanish Succession [6]. The conflict raged from 1701 to 1714 amongst the parties, over who had

Its origins can be traced back to the belief of Manifest Destiny, which fostered the idea that Americans were predestined to expand west disregarding existing land ownership by Mexico. The President at the time James K. Polk was an advocate of this idea and prompted aggression by advancing troops into disputed land. Furthermore, he authorized retaliation without the approval of Congress after Mexico sought to defend its territory. In brief

Bartholomew Roberts, a famous pirate in the eighteenth century, once described the piratical lifestyle as “a merry life and a short one” . This quote exemplifies the often romanticized view of pirates often seen today. Images of savvy swashbucklers who honor the code of the seas and drink copious amounts of rum while counting pieces of eight prevail the modern understanding of pirates. However, this image does a disservice not only to the reality of the lifestyle, but to the very real danger that
