Avra M. Warren

Avra Milvin Warren (August 26, 1893 – January 23, 1957) served as the United States ambassador to four countries and minister to three (although he served as minister and later ambassador to the Dominican Republic, so six countries total).

Avra Milvin Warren was a career U.S. diplomat who served in several key ambassadorships during a pivotal era in American foreign policy. Known for his postings in Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe, Warren played a significant role in advancing U.S. interests during World War II and the early Cold War. He was the U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Panama, Turkey, and Iceland, where he worked on issues ranging from regional stability to the implementation of the Truman Doctrine. However, his legacy is mixed, as his tenure as chief of the Visa Division coincided with restrictive immigration policies that hindered Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust.
