The War Against Piracy was an act attempted and carried out by Lord Cutler Beckett and the East India Trading Company, aided by the British Royal Navy, to wipe out piracy from the world. The Company's purpose for the war was to expand their business into the Caribbean as well as exterminating pirates. Beckett was able to achieve this plan by finding the fabled Dead Man's Chest, in which lied the heart of Davy Jones, to control the seas.
