The United States Embassy in Poland (Polish: Ambasada Stanów Zjednoczonych w Polsce) is situated on Ujazdów Avenue in Warsaw, Poland. The United States also maintains a consulate in Kraków.[1]
History[edit]
Diplomatic relations between the United States and Poland were established on May 2, 1919, when the first U.S. Minister to Poland, Hugh S. Gibson, presented his credentials.[2][3] On January 31, 1930, Alexander P. Moore was appointed the first U.S. Ambassador to Poland, but he died before taking office. John N. Willys succeeded him, presenting his credentials on May 24, 1930, and serving until May 30, 1932.[3][4]
With the outbreak of World War II on September 1, 1939, following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Jr., left Warsaw and followed the Government of Poland to France, and later to London as the war progressed.[2][3][4] After the end of World War II, the U.S. Embassy was re-established in Warsaw on July 31, 1945. Ambassador Arthur Bliss Lane, appointed on September 21, 1944, presented his credentials on August 4, 1945, and his tenure continued until February 24, 1947.[2][3]
