Carlton J. H. Hayes
Carlton Joseph Huntley Hayes (May 16, 1882 – September 2, 1964) was an American historian, educator, diplomat, devout
Catholic and academic. A student of European history, he was a leading and pioneering specialist on the study of nationalism. He was elected as president of the
American Historical Association over the opposition of liberals and the more explicit
Anti-Catholic bias that defined the academic community of his era. He served as
United States Ambassador to Spain in
World War II. Although he came under attack from the
CIO and others on the left that rejected any dealings with
Francoist Spain, Hayes succeeded in his mission to keep Spain neutral during the war.
