Answer 1

It is to be noted that the above described event is called the XYZ event in US history.

The XYZ Affair was a diplomatic incident in late 18th-century U.S. history. In 1797, American envoys sent to France, Charles C. Pinckney, John Marshall, and Elbridge Gerry, were met by French agents, known as X, Y, and Z, who demanded bribes for diplomatic negotiations.

Outraged by the attempted bribery, the U.S. suspended diplomatic relations with France, leading to an undeclared naval war known as the Quasi-War (1798–1800).

The XYZ Affair heightened anti-French sentiment in the U.S., strengthened the Federalist Party's influence, and led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts, reflecting the challenges in U.S.-French relations during this period.
