American politician and diplomat (1902–1985)

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (July 5, 1902 – February 27, 1985) was an American Republican politician and diplomat. He served as a United States Senator from Massachusetts and as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and United States Ambassador to South Vietnam. He was also the Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States in the 1960 election.

Early Life and Education

Lodge was born in Nahant, Massachusetts, into the prominent Lodge family. He was the grandson of Henry Cabot Lodge, a leading Senator and historian. He attended Harvard University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1924.

Political Career

Lodge began his political career in the Massachusetts House of Representatives before being elected to the United States Senate in 1936. He served as a Senator until 1944, when he resigned to serve in the United States Army during World War II. After the war, he returned to politics and was appointed as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953.

Diplomatic Career

Lodge's tenure as Ambassador to the United Nations was marked by his strong stance against communism during the Cold War. He played a key role in the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. In 1963, he was appointed as the United States Ambassador to South Vietnam by President John F. Kennedy, a position he held during the critical early years of the Vietnam War.

Later Life and Legacy

After his diplomatic service, Lodge continued to be active in public affairs and wrote several books on his experiences. He passed away in 1985 in Beverly, Massachusetts. Lodge is remembered for his significant contributions to American foreign policy during the mid-20th century.
