The first involved Americas relations with France.France helped America win its war for independence from Britain. The friendship formed during the war continued afterward when Thomas Jefferson served as Minister to Paris. Relations began to go bad as soon as he returned home.

President Adams had appointed three ministers to negotiate with the French government. French officials kept these three men waiting for several weeks. While they waited, they had a visit from three Frenchmen-later called X,Y and Z. X,Y and Z told the Americans that France would sign an agreement if the United States did three things.

And it had to pay the French foreign minister 250,000 dollars.The American ministers were willing to pay. But they wanted to sign the agreement first. The French foreign minister refused.
