Diplomatic Career

Collection: British Diplomacy from the Unification of Germany to the Spanish Civil War, 1863–1939    Volumes    Diplomatic Career
The significance of these documents lies as much with the range of countries they cover as with the subjects under discussion. During his diplomatic career Esme Howard served at British Embassies in the following countries: Ireland, Italy, Germany, Crete, United States, Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Sweden and Spain. Howard was also present at the Versailles peace conference and this has led to the inclusion of the Conditions of Peace Agreed at Versailles alongside correspondence and memoranda relating to the conference.
