George Washington chose to maintain a position of neutrality when England and France went to war in the late 18th century. As the first President of the United States, he believed that the young nation should avoid entangling alliances with foreign powers. In his Farewell Address in 1796, he emphasized the importance of steering clear of permanent alliances, advocating for American independence in foreign policy. Washington's stance reflected his desire to promote national unity and stability.
France needed cash to support the European War.

France was chosen as a potential ally to the colonies during the American Revolution because of France's remaining anger about the French and Indian War. France and England had a long history of anger toward each other, so it was easier to convince France. Also, France had a strong military.
He had to follow the legacy of George Washington who had unquestioned popularity, and had an electorate trying to choose between England and France as their European ally, not to mention the intrigues of Alexander Hamilton (who was quietly sabotaging him at every turn).
One of the main problems Adams faced was that he was expected to be as great as the Almighty Washington. Another problem he faced was that France and Britain and the United States had alliance problems, Adams had to choose between siding with France or Britain. Also he received much criticism after he passed the Alien and Sedition acts because it was deemed 'racist' to some extent.
Because General Washington (First President) had ambused the city of YorkTown by land and the French Navy had cut them off by sea so General of the Britsh had no choose.
