True. The XYZ Affair, which involved a diplomatic incident between the United States and France in 1797-1798, led President John Adams to urge Congress to prepare for war. Tensions escalated due to French aggression against American shipping, prompting calls for military readiness, although war was never formally declared. The incident significantly impacted U.S.-France relations and domestic politics.
