| Historian and diplomat, born in Afton, New York, USA. He took all his degrees at Columbia University (1904 BA; 1905 MA; 1909 PhD) and remained there as a professor (1910–50). He became one of the leading authorities on modern nationalism, writing about it in such works as Essays on Nationalism (1926) and Nationalism: A Religion (1960). He also wrote a long-standard college history textbook, Political and Social History of Modern Europe (1916, many editions). A convert to Roman Catholicism (1924), he co-founded the National Association of Christians and Jews and was its Catholic co-chairman (1928–46). He served as US ambassador to Spain (1942–5), with the express goal of dissuading Spain from assisting the Axis powers, and described this mission in Wartime Mission in Spain (1945). |
