The XYZ Affair was a political and diplomatic episode in 1797 and 1798, early in the administration of John Adams, involving a confrontation between the United States and Republican France that led to an undeclared war called the Quasi-War.

Pres. John Adams dispatched three ministers to France in 1797 to negotiate a commercial agreement to protect U.S. shipping. In Paris the ministers were approached by three French agents who suggested a bribe of $250,000 to Talleyrand, the French foreign minister, and a loan of $10,000,000 to France as a prelude to negotiations. In April 1798 the machinations of the three French agents (called X, Y, and Z in the diplomatic correspondence) were made public in the United States. There was a great outcry over the bribe solicitation, followed by preparations for war. Although a period of undeclared naval warfare ensued between France and the United States formal war was avoided, and the incident was settled by the Convention of 1800.

Who was most responsible for forging a compromise on a peace settlement? Georges Clemenceau of France
Aliun [14]

David Lloyd George was most responsible for forging a compromise on a peace settlement after World War I, the Treaty of Versailles.

The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty of peace that was signed in the city of Versailles at the end of the First World War by more than fifty countries.This treaty officially ended with the state of war between Germany and the Allies of the First World War. It was signed on June 28, 1919 exactly five years after the Sarajevo bombing in which the archduke Francisco Fernando was murdered, the direct cause of the war. Although the armistice was signed months before (November 11, 1918) to end hostilities on the battlefield, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The Treaty of Versailles came into force on January 10, 1920.

George contributed decisively to the treaty acquiring a strong anti-German tone. Of the many provisions of the treaty, one of the most important and controversial provisions stipulated that the Central Powers (Germany and its allies) would accept all moral and material responsibility for having caused the war and, under the terms of articles 231 to 248, should disarm, make important territorial concessions to the victors and pay exorbitant economic compensation to the victorious States.
