=Discussion about the Dutch-Barbary War=

The true causes of the Dutch–Barbary War, which broke out between 1618 and 1622, were rooted primarily in diplomatic and political disputes, particularly over the principle of "free ship, free goods" and the issue of the free release of Dutch prisoners. The attacks by Algerian corsairs on Dutch ships, though significant, were not the cause of the conflict but rather a consequence of escalating diplomatic tensions. As noted by [the source], "the issues of 'free ship, free goods' and the free release of prisoners were at the origin of this war." In this context of political rivalry, military incidents, such as those involving Quast and Lambert, further fueled the hostilities.[[User:MaybeDailyHistory]] ([[User talk:MaybeDailyHistory|talk]]) 10:00, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

:While it is true that this played a role, your edits are problematic for other reasons. Your wording makes to much use of subjective language and the writing was sloppy. You can't leave an article behind in such a state and expect others to fix your language. Also don't do original reasearch.
