Quasi War: The Quasi War was an undeclared war between France and the US. This war was the first seaborne conflict for the newly established US Navy. The cause was that French privateers were seizing US shipping in the Caribbean because the US stopped paying debts to the French government. The war ended with the Convention of 1800, reaffirming the US the right to free trade. The results of the war were US naval expansion, and debates about the limits of presidential control.
