The XYZ Affair was a diplomatic incident that occurred in the late 1790s between the United States and France. It involved a failed negotiation in which American envoys were approached by French agents, referred to as X, Y, and Z, who demanded bribes to initiate talks. The scandal led to an undeclared naval conflict known as the Quasi-War and fueled anti-French sentiment in the United States, contributing to the rise of the Federalist Party.
