What was the resault of the xyz affaire?

The XYZ Affair, which occurred in the late 1790s, involved a diplomatic conflict between the United States and France, leading to an undeclared naval war known as the Quasi-War. The affair began when American diplomats were approached by French agents (referred to as X, Y, and Z) who demanded bribes for negotiations. The scandal heightened anti-French sentiment in the U.S. and resulted in increased military preparedness, eventually leading to a series of naval confrontations. Ultimately, it strained U.S.-French relations but also fostered national unity and support for the Federalist Party.
