What was the result of Citizen Genet's actions in the United States?

Citizen Genet, formally known as Edmond-Charles Genet, was a French envoy who arrived in the United States during a tumultuous period of French Revolutionary excitement. His actions, which included attempting to rally American support for France and organizing privateer attacks against Britain and Spain, were seen as overstepping the bounds of diplomatic conduct. Genet's aggressive efforts to enlist American citizens in military campaigns and his disregard for U.S. neutrality ultimately led to a backlash against him.

The correct answer highlights that Genet's behavior prompted the U.S. government to recall him to France. President George Washington and his administration were concerned that Genet's actions could potentially embroil the United States in foreign conflicts and undermine American sovereignty. Thus, the U.S. government formally requested his recall. This incident reflected the tensions surrounding foreign influence in American politics during the early years of the Republic.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately capture the outcome of Genet's actions. He was not welcomed as a U.S. citizen, nor did he obtain an official ambassadorial position, and he did not establish diplomatic relations with Britain, as his activities were primarily aligned with France's interests.
