Notes

The U.S. Embassy in Athens was closed July 14, 1941, after the German occupation of Greece. The United States maintained diplomatic relations with the government-in-exile of Greece in London (1941–43) and then in Cairo (1943–44). Ambassador MacVeagh reopened the embassy on October 27, 1944.[4]

The U.S. Legation was raised to Embassy status on September 29, 1942. This action also would promote Minister Biddle to the rank of Ambassador, which required a new appointment. The appointment was promptly made by President Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate. Ambassador Biddle presented his credentials to the government of Greece on October 30, 1942.[4]
