The Franco-Algerian war of 1609–1628 occurred because of a Dutch pirate named Simon Dansa who declared his conversion to Islam and joined the Algerian navy in 1603, and then later conspired with the French consul in Algeria in an attempt to collect more wealth, so he collected his money and fled with it to France, including two of advanced bronze cannons he had been lent to him by the Pasha of Algiers.
