I've been wanting to make this for a long time and now that I had the time I thought why not make that wish true... thought I must say it was difficult. (I ran out of Spain pictures so I snuck in one picture of Portugal did any of you find it? Comment if you did)
Now after reading a few books I think I have finally come up with a list of countries that would have definitely had a pirate phase:
England may not have been a pirate but certainly a privateer (which in my opinion is the same, just one is protected by their country)
France is in the same boat as England, a corsair
Greece, Alexander the great fought against pirates often
Rome, Julius Cesar himself was kidnapped by pirates
Egypt, there is definite proof of pirates having been a problem there
Persia, King Sanherib was a violent fiend of pirates
Now to the nordics, I'm sure that most if not all had a viking phase, now an argument could be started on whether vikings could be classified as pirates or not; I think they could be
Germany/Prussia, though there may be slight confusion as to whether either of these countries were plagued by pirates, I'm pretty sure Prussia got something from his buddy France and then he in turn taught Germany
Malta, a notable "pirate island" back in the day ^-^
Spain, this is a difficult character to explain... it could all be linked back to Christopher Columbus founding the first spanish colony in the new world, Hispaniola. Later on the Caribbean Islands would be added and from both of these destinations pirates would start coming; the buccaneers. I guess Spain might have had a short pirate phase, but it was overshadowed by his conquistador phase
America, though during this time he was most likely still 'New World'
North/South Italy, a very notable pirate, Giovanni Verrazano, terrorized New York
