John Flournoy Montgomery : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Flournoy Montgomery John Flournoy Montgomery (1878–1954) was an American businessman and diplomat. His sole diplomatic posting was as U.S. Minister to Hungary, between 1933 and 1941. This ambassadorial assignment placed Montgomery at the center of the seething intrigue and gathering storm that characterized 1930's Hungary and Central Europe; in particular he was witness to the rise of Adolf Hitler’s influence in Budapest, and the complex struggle over the alliance between Hungary and Nazi Germany. His memoirs, entitled ''Hungary: The Unwilling Satellite'', are considered a valuable document of that era. ==Background== Montgomery was a native of Missouri, born September 20, 1878 in the town of Sedalia and educated there. At the age of 26, he married Hedwig Wildi, and the couple had two daughters. Montgomery built a successful career in the dairy industry, specifically in the processing of condensed milk. From 1925 to 1933, he was the president of the International Milk Company in Vermont. He was a loyal and generous supporter of the Democratic Party, and after Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt claimed the White House in 1932, Montgomery was rewarded with the promise of a diplomatic job.〔Frank, Tibor, ''Dreaming Peace, Making War: The Budapest Conversations of U.S. Minister John F. Montgomery 1934-1941'', in The Hungarian Quarterly, Volume 63, No. 168, Winter 2002〕
