Answer 1

The correct answer is the following.

Match the agreements made or attempted during the Washington and Adams administrations to their descriptions.

Treaty of Paris = Britain gave the Ohio River Valley territory to the United States.

Jay Treaty = The United States had to repay debts that Britain had incurred because of the American Revolution.

XYZ Affair = The French foreign minister Talleyrand demanded a bribe from American diplomats.

The United States and Great Britain signed the Treaty of Paris to officially end the Seven Year War. It was signed in 1763 and was also signed by Spain, Portugal, and France. As part of the agreements, the government of England had to give the lands west of the Ohio River to the Americans.

The Jay Treaty had economic implications that made the federal government of the US pay for the debt created in the independence war.

The XYZ Affair of 1797 involved a diplomacy issue with the government of France.
