Editing Database: Rogers Attacks Nassau

[[File:Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag concept art 8.jpg|thumb|250px]]
The only serious and successful effort to eradicate the republic of [[Piracy|pirates]] came in 1718 from [[Woodes Rogers]], a [[United Kingdom|British]] officer who had been appointed governor of [[the Bahamas]]. The British conceived a series of measures to eliminate piracy from the region. Rogers devoted himself to crackdown on [[Nassau]] and was ultimately able to capture many pirates and execute them. 

His efforts resulted in the end of the pirate haven at [[New Providence]]. Although Nassau was probably not a pirate paradise as some have claimed, the presence of a powerful pirate base threatened the activities of the [[Europe]]an nation-states in the Western Hemisphere to such an extent that they put the necessary resources into annihilating the republic of pirates.
