Americans were outraged by the XYZ Affair in 1797. The French foreign minister had refused to receive the American ambassador unless he was paid a $ 250,000 bribe and France was given a $10 million loan. The American outrage caused small naval battles to break out between the French and American navies, but in 1800, a peace treaty was signed and good relations between the two countries resumed.

Also called the "XYZ"-affair, it was a diplomatic crisis between the USA and France in 1797/98 caused by French foreign minister Talleyrand who only wanted to start talks on averting possible war between the two countries after recieving a substantial amount from the US in bribes and loans. 'XYZ' stood for the names of the three French diplomats that Talleyrand used as informal middlemen for the hoped-for transaction.
