Join the roomLa piratería es un acto de robo o violencia criminal por atacantes a bordo de barcos o botes contra otro barco o una zona costera, típicamente con la intención de robar carga y bienes valiosos, o tomar rehenes. Aquellos que realizan actos de piratería se llaman piratas, y las embarcaciones utilizadas para la piratería se llaman barcos piratas. Los primeros casos documentados de piratería datan del siglo XIV a. C., cuando los Pueblos del Mar, un grupo de asaltantes oceánicos, atacaron los barcos de las civilizaciones egeas y mediterráneas. Los canales estrechos que canalizan el transporte marítimo en rutas predecibles han creado durante mucho tiempo oportunidades para la piratería, así como para el corso y el asalto comercial.
