John Adams, the second president of the United States, was urged by Americans to go to war with France.

Adams received word from his representatives sent to France that the foreign country would agree to stop interfering with US shipping - for a price. France claimed that the United States representatives would need to formally meet with French agents code named X, Y, and Z and give them a bribe of 200,000 dollars. This affair is called the XYZ affair due to the names of the agents used by France when they tried to bribe the United States.
