Robert Lansing
Robert Lansing was an American attorney and diplomat who served as the Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Known for his expertise in international law and foreign relations, Lansing was instrumental in negotiating key treaties and agreements, including the Lansing-Ishii Agreement with Japan. He is perhaps most remembered for the Lansing Declaration, a statement made in 1916 that asserted the United States' recognition of Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland, a significant diplomatic move during a time of increasing interest in Arctic territories.
