In response to the Jay Treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which France viewed as a betrayal, the French government began seizing American merchant ships in the late 1790s. This led to an undeclared naval conflict known as the Quasi-War, where the U.S. and France engaged in a series of skirmishes at sea. The French also refused to receive American diplomats and increased tensions further, effectively punishing the U.S. for its perceived alignment with Britain.

Why did the French view the jay treaty as a betrayal by the US?
The French viewed the Jay Treaty of 1794 as a betrayal by the United States because it appeared to strengthen Anglo-American relations at the expense of Franco-American alliances formed during the Revolutionary War. The treaty resolved some outstanding issues between the U.S. and Britain, but it effectively sidelined France, which was then engaged in its own conflict with Britain. The French felt that the U.S. was prioritizing its relationship with Britain over its commitments to France, leading to increased tensions and contributing to the Quasi-War between the two nations.
