Encyclopedia : J : JU : JUL : Jules Cambon
Jules-Martin Cambon (April 5, 1845 in Paris - September 19, 1935 in Vevey, Switzerland) was a French diplomat. He began his career as a lawyer, and then became involved in politics before entering the diplomatic service. He was serving as the French Ambassador to the United States during the War of 1898. He was an active participant in the peace negotiations between Spain and United States and a contributor to the final agreement, the Treaty of Paris of 1898. His role in those negotiations helped Spain and France to develop a strong political partnership.
Later, Cambon would serve as French ambassador to Germany until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and then as the head of the political section of the French foreign ministry during the war. His brother, Paul, was also a notable French diplomat.
