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. (7 июл 1798 г. – 30 сент 1800 г.)
