When the USA and France signed their Alliance in 1777, remember
this was during the American war for Independence, we were fighting
for our independence and Franklin got us an alliance with France, we
needed French help. now however , France was at war with ALMOST
ALL, of Europe, thanks to their Revolution. G. Washington, the
President of the USA, knew that a war with the British would be
disastrous for the USA. We were a small backwoods country with
a 5,000 man army and maybe 5 warships. Britain had a huge army,
compared to ours and over 100 warships. We would have gotten
stomped on. Washington sent Jay over to britain to see if our
problems with Britain could be worked out. The Treaty Jay came back
with was not that great, it did not speak to impressment or the
seizing of our sailors by Britain or give us much in fair trade BUT IT
did stop the USA from going to war and that is what France objected
to, they wanted the USA, their Ally to fight the English. Fortunately
the USA did not fight the war. The France replied by seizing our ships
sailing towards Britain for trade. We responded to the French seizures
by sending out our navy, now up to 15 ships to fight the French navy.
Which they did quite successfully, during the term of J. Adams as
president.
Hope that helps.
