If we are talking about the French Revolutionary period, the first hostilities broke out between the two countries in 1794 during the so-called War of the First Coalition. In that year France invaded Belgium and the Low Countries where it encountered - among others - a British expeditionary force. The British were quickly repelled and managed to hang on for a while in the northwestern coastal area of Holland but finally had to withdraw to England.

These factors combined to establish a long-standing rivalry between the two nations.

Why did fighting break out between white settlers and native Americans in the new England colonies?

Fighting broke out between white settlers and Native Americans in the New England colonies primarily due to land disputes and differing views on land ownership. As settlers expanded their territories for agriculture and settlement, they encroached upon Native American lands, leading to tensions and conflicts. Additionally, cultural misunderstandings and the settlers' desire for resources exacerbated these conflicts, culminating in violent confrontations such as King Philip's War in 1675-1676. The struggle for control over land and resources ultimately fueled hostilities between the two groups.
