History of the French Naval War (Quasi-War With France) Battle Streamer
The French Naval War, or Quasi-War, was an undeclared conflict fought between the United States and France from 1798 to 1800. The war was sparked by French aggression on U.S. merchant ships, particularly after the signing of the Jay Treaty between the United States and Great Britain. The U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard, then a small but growing force, played crucial roles in protecting American shipping interests and enforcing the nation's neutrality.
During the conflict, U.S. forces, including the newly established U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, engaged in naval skirmishes with French privateers and warships. Though the Quasi-War never formally escalated into full-scale warfare, it solidified the role of the U.S. Coast Guard in protecting American maritime interests. The Battle Streamer commemorates the bravery and resilience of the service members who contributed to the defense of the young United States during this pivotal moment in history.
