Most important development: The British take-over of French strongholds. Winners: Britain. Resulting in no real consequences, not immediate at least. The end of the Seven Years War was a change of tides, Britain had now replaced France as the leading world power. The war was costly, though, result in more taxes, which in a way leads to the American Revolution. A vengeful France would manifest significant aid for the Revolution. Losers: France and Indians.

Selected Answer: The French, offended by Jay's treaty, began to violate the terms of the Treaty of Alliance with France (Franco-American Treaty) causing it to end. So in response to such, John Adams sent over a commission to negotiate with Talleyrand (French foreign minister). Negotiations weren't so great, the three secret french agents told American delegates that they could meet with the minister only in exchange for a handsome bribe, the US denied. This all led up to Naval Battles between the US and France, this was an undeclared war called Quasi-War. This "war" resulted in an increase in the size of both Navies. But an already pre-occupied France, battling Britain, quickly realized that fighting two fronts probably isn't the best idea. The X Y Z in the name are derived from the secret agents, as made public to Congress by John Adams. This was a chance for us to flex our guns, it made John Adams look strong. Correct Answer: When John Adams assumed office, a crisis between France and the United States over French interference with American vessels took place. Adams sent three commissioners to Paris to resolve the situation. The French dignitaries who received the Americans demanded a loan in the form of a bribe. Adams reported the incident to Congress, and Federalists exploited the affair. 5 out of 5 points [Show More]
