Following the Revolutionary War, the US faced challenges due to a weak government and disbanded navy. The Quasi-War with France arose from tensions over debt and trade. The Jay Treaty improved US-Britain relations, but US-French tensions escalated, leading to naval conflicts. The US established a navy to protect its interests, resulting in the Quasi-War.
