Best Answer

France was an ally of USA during the American Revolutionary War. However, after the French Revolution in 1794 the French Crown was deposed and this led to tensions between USA and the revolutionary leadership. The situation deteriorated further when USA refused to pay debts to France which led to French privateers seizing and looting US trade ships sailing to Britain. As a result an undeclared war between USA, Britain and Batavian Republic with French Republic known as Quasi-War. The war continued for two years from 1798 till 1800.
