The French keep attacking American Ships. What shall I do? I must send smart diplomats to negotiate with French foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord. We are three smart diplomats! We want to negotiate! Please send us to France! My dream has come true! Surely Charles Pinckney, John Marshall, and Elbridge Gerry will successfully negotiate. Well? What are you waiting for? Get to work! This is cool. Dude, we're like, diplomats! Here come the foreign minister's representatives. Let us refer to them as X, Y, and Z! So you want us to leave your ships alone, huh? Yes, we do. How much? I'd say pretty much. Enough to offer us a bribe? Get lost, pal. France is a powerful country. You better pay. We'd rather fight an expensive war than pay you some stupid bribe! We say: "Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute." You'll be sorry!
"I must send smart diplomats to negotiate with french foreign minister Charles Maurice de-Talleyrand Perigord!" My friends all laugh at me when i recite the entire son by heart(tha takes some serious commitment Y'all!!!!😥😥😂😂
Angry at U.S. neutrality in the British-French conflict, the French had attacked a number of American ships. It was a big problem for President John Adams THE FRENCH KEEP ATTACKING American ships………… What shall I do…………….? I must send smart diplomats to negotiate with French foreign minister * Charles Maurice De Talleyrand-Périgord * We are three smart diplomats We want to negotiate!! Please send us to France! My dream has come true! Surely CHARLES PINCKNEY, JOHN MARSHALL and ELBRIDGE GERRY will successfully negotiate! Well, what are you waiting for? Get to work! CONSIDER IT DONE, MR. PRESIDENT! Later in France... This is cool. Dude, we’re, like, diplomats! Here come the foreign minister’s representatives. Let us refer to them as X…….Y…….. and Z………………… So you want us to leave your ships alone, huh? Yes we do. How much? I’d say pretty much! Enough to offer us a bribe? Get LOST pal! France is a powerful country, you’d better pay… We’d rather fight, an expensive war than pay you some stupid bribe! We say: “Millions for defense, not ONE CENT for tribute!” You’ll be sorry! When Americans got word of how disrespectfully they'd been treated by the French, many wanted to go to war. George Washington was ready to come out of retirement to lead the army. Adams, however, tried further negotiation, and this time, France treated America seriously. The XYZ affair, so named because that's how Americans referred to the French representatives who demanded a bribe, showed the world that the United States demanded to be treated with respect.
Bro, the guy wearing purple, I could play tic tac toe on that forehead and that guy that said "This is cool" 1:04 looked like the side of his face got wacked by a metal base ball bat💀
Bruh when I saw this in my history class i couldn’t keep from laughing, it’s just so… all I’ll say is if I died after I did some amazing thing like be the president I would sue these ppl from my grave
My social studies teacher played this to me and my class and said “if you don’t laugh this whole video, I’ll give you a free period to do whatever you want” of course we laughed.
Teacher: here is a study guide with 20 questions, tomorrow you have a 33 question test plus two bonus questions Me: **starts the study guide and continues into the night** My Brain: **Watch the video... No point in doing study guide** Me: Watches this video until I learn everything
The first time I saw this was in 7th grade 7 years ago. I thought it was so stupid and weird I mean no one had any feet. But watching today… Yeah it’s still pretty weird
