The XYZ affair

Slajd: 1
We're capturing your ships!
I give up.
What do you want from us, France!!
After France and Great Britain go to war, America decides to stay out of it. But, the president goes behind France's back and makes a deal with Great Britain, causing the French to capture over 300+ american ships that trade with Brittain.
Slajd: 2
You cannot pass until you give us 250k as a bribe, and 10+ million loan!
No way!! Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!
During this, president Adams decides to send three representatives to France to negotiate peace. While on the way, they were stopped by three French spies known as X, Y, and Z. They said that that unless America paid 250k as a bribe, and 10+ million dollars as a loan they could negotiate. We rejected and started stealing their ships, the phrase "millions for defense, but not one cent for tribue" was widely spread
Slajd: 3
Stop stealing our ships. We need them for our war against Britain. Can we make peace now?
Of course! We'll stop stealing yours, and you stop stealing ours!
Before France surrendered, we captured 80+ of their war ships. This pushed France to give up, and a peace treaty was made between them. This whole event would be called the XYZ affair.
