context_page_description: Henry Percival Dodge was a United States diplomat who served as resident minister in South America, Northern Afria, and Europe for many years.
context_section_description: In 1914, Dodge participated in the Niagara Falls peace conference, when representatives from Argentina, Brazil and Chile—the ABC Powers—successfully met in Niagara Falls, Canada, for diplomatic negotiations in order to avoid war between the United States and Mexico, during the era of the Mexican Revolution and following increasing tensions over the Tampico Affair. The Tampico Affair began as a minor incident involving U.S. sailors and Mexican forces loyal to the dictator General Victoriano Huerta during the faction wars phase of the Mexican Revolution, which led to a breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
  The U.S. was represented by Frederick William Lehmann, a former United States Solicitor General and Joseph Rucker Lamar, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.  To celebrate the success of the conference, the ABC envoys and the U.S. and Mexican delegates to the conference attended a royal garden party on May 27, 1914 given by the Duke of Connaught, the Governor General of Canada, at the King Edward Hotel.
