In the late 18th century, during the Quasi-War, the United States and France experienced tensions due to French seizures of American ships. These seizures, known as "spoliations," were part of France's enforcement of treaties, causing economic losses for American merchants. The conflict escalated into the Quasi-War (1798–1800), a naval conflict resolved by the Convention of 1800. This treaty addressed spoliations and other issues, normalizing relations and nullifying the 1778 Treaty of Alliance between the U.S. and France, concluding a significant chapter in early U.S. foreign relations.
