XYZ Affair
The XYZ Affair was a 1797 diplomatic episode that worsened relations between the United States and France and led to the undeclared Quasi War of 1798. The Jay Treaty of 1795 angered France, which was at war with Britain and misinterpreted the treaty as evidence of an Anglo-American alliance.
