Remember that time Sweden and the US teamed up to fight a war?

Fun fact: Remember that time Sweden and the US teamed up to fight a war? Me neither, but in the very first American war after the Revolution, Sweden and the US fought the First Barbary War (1801-1805) against Barbary pirates off North Africa.

When I first learned this fun fact, I thought they said the “First Barbie War,” which is a completely different theater of battle.
