Explanation:

Question 1

When privateers became pirates, European states had a dilemma. They had to hunt the pirates but revealing their past (as privateers were state - sanctioned during wars) would expose their own covert actions.

Turquerie was a real trend in 17th - century Europe. Ottoman goods like turbans in France and Persian rugs (Ottoman - influenced in trade) in wealthy homes were part of this trend.

Privateers were often used during wars. When the wars ended (state - sanctioned employment ended), many turned to piracy as their previous 'job' (privateering) was no longer valid.

Answer:

They had to actively hunt the pirates, but could not reveal their history of raids without admitting to their own covert war actions; exposing their crimes would 'implicate themselves' in the past ruthlessness.
