The Quasi-War or sometimes called the XYZ Affair was a war between the United States and France in the 18th century that happened at the sea.
In 1793, there was a war between France and Great Britain and the United States was neutral, then the next year,the Jay Treaty was signed by Britain and the United States and this got France angry because France believed that it violated the earlier treaty that they had with the United States.
