PIRATES ON THE HIGH SEAS 2
Pirates On The High Seas
Pennell (Ed.). (2001) posits that piracy had a political significance. Piracy in Europe’s
overseas commercial expansion was attributed to various forces ranging from the need to
monopolize Atlantic routes, to keep the routes free and open, to suppress European nations that
rebelled against control to eliminating rival trading networks. The most significant of these
factors as Pennell (Ed.). (2001) illustrates was the need to take control of commerce, influenced
by the need to take advantage of the conflict between two political entities.
Pennell (Ed.). (2001) analyses various episodes of piracy and identifies some
commonalities differences. Between 1520 and 1650, piracy was concentrated around Atlantic
routes to America where French and English pirates were adventurers who explored the seas in
contempt of Spanish monopolies who refused to license their trade. In the second episode, pirates
were territorial and excluded foreigners. Between 1660 and 1720, English and French merchants
established power and outlawed gangs that challenged the newly established commercial laws
and drove the dutch away. Piracy arose based on the moves by French and English to outlaw
freebooters using punishment. Between 1714 and 1750, piracy arose as way to challenge
established commercial laws. Throughout the analysis, Pennell (Ed.). (2001) demonstrates how
pirates were all fighting against states imposing claims over trade routes and networks. The
commonalities among them are that they all challenged merchant empires that attempted to
control trade routes. However, another way pirates came up was through armed resistance
against newcomers to trading routes.
