Öykü Penceresi Metni
- France capturing US ships
- MWAHAHAHA!! This is payback for not helping us in our revolution!

- The XYZ Negotiation
- Give us money, then we can talk. Like a lot of it please. Also you can't see us because you can't know who we are.
- Okay we'll call you XYZ. But also no way, we'd rather fight you, so bye.
- John Adams Response
- Excellent idea sir.
- I've got it! France is stealing our ships let us steal theirs! Ha, I'm a genius. Then we can make up and become friends.
- France captures an American ship that's trading with Great Britain because France thought America didn't "stay neutral" in the French Revolution like they said they would.
- Three smart delegates went to negotiate with France about ships being stolen, but France demanded a bribe to even get into the room to talk. America said that they would rather fight France in war than spend millions of dollars just to talk.
- President John Adams decides to steal France's ships in retaliation. Then afterward they figure it out and stop stealing from one another.
