Explanation:

The Quasi-War or sometimes called the XYZ Affair was a war between the United States and France in the 18th century that happened at the sea.

In 1793, there was a war between France and Great Britain and the United States was neutral, then the next year,the Jay Treaty was signed by Britain and the United States and this got France angry because France believed that it violated the earlier treaty that they had with the United States.

Due to this, American ships were seized by France and after John Adams became the president of the United States, he sent a three man delegate to France so that peace can be restored. The delegates were bit given a listening ear when they got to France but we're told that they had to pay a huge bribe and also got be a loan to France.

When the diplomats got back to America with the information from France, the United States president was angry and this ultimately led to the Quasi War.
