For over a decade spiking in 2010, pirates from Somalia terrorised the shipping lanes of the Indian Ocean, boarding cargo ships, personal yachts and fishing trawlers, bringing the vessels back to the coast and holding their occupants hostage before demanding a payment of ransom. But how is this possible in the modern world? In this video we'll explore the twentieth century history of Somalia, the military dictatorship, civil wars and breakdown of society making piracy a viable profession for thousands of young men.# Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Join in the Banter on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Enter the Fray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistorywHilbert/ Indulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop): https://www.instagram.com/historywithhilbert/ Music Used: Energizing - Keivn MacLeodc Finding the Balance - Kevin MacLeod Envisioning - Kevin MacLeod Tafi Maradi - Kevin MacLeod Digya - Kevin MacLeod Expeditionary - Kevin MacLeod Asian Drums - Kevin MacLeod Devestation & Revenge - Kevin MacLeod Sunday Dub - Kevin MacLeod Infados - Kevin MacLeod Send me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com #SomaliPirates #Africa #Pirates
