====Conclusion====
Although European powers considered their treaty obligations abrogated by the French Revolution, the United States believed it to be in effect despite President Washington’s policy of neutrality in the war between Britain and France. The Citizen Genêt Affair erupted partially because of clauses contained in the alliance treaty that violated the neutrality policy. The Treaty of Paris also remained technically in effect during the undeclared Quasi-War with France and was formally ended by the Convention of 1800 which also terminated the Quasi-War.
