While these two nations had warred with each other, the United States had prospered. They needed American industrial and agricultural products to sustain themselves during the conflict. Once the war ended, American products were no longer in such great demand.  Both the French and the British downsized their respective militaries.  Many of these former soldiers returned home, cutting into the need for American items overseas.
