The XYZ Affair was a federal and strategic event in the years 1797 and 1798 or during the presidency of John Adams including a meeting between the United States and Republican France which resulted in the Quasi-War.
America had commissioned some representatives to France to address various concerns with Talleyrand, the then foreign minister of France. Nevertheless, the American diplomat was reached with three French representatives who mentioned to as X, Y, and Z. The members necessitated a payoff of $250,000 for the opportunity of communicating with Talleyrand. Accordingly, the denial of America of paying off the bribe led to the Quasi-War in 1798.
