The United States and France, previously allies during the Revolutionary War, clashed diplomatically in reaction to the Jay Treaty and French piracy. The XYZ affair (1797) involved demands by French negotiators for huge bribes as a condition of continued diplomacy. The demands were made public by President John Adams and arouse much American sentiment against France.
