After Honduras gained independence from Spain in 1821, it joined the Federation of Central American States which also included Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. The United States recognized the independence of the Federation from Spain on August 4, 1824. Following the dissolution of the Federation, the United States acknowledged Honduras as a separate, independent state on April 19, 1853, with the appointment of Solon Borland as U.S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to several Central American countries. [1] [2] The first American diplomatic mission was situated in the prior capital of Comayagua. The American Legation officially opened on February 22, 1856. The first U.S. Minister Resident to present his credentials in Honduras was James R. Partridge on April 25, 1862. [1]
On March 23, 1943, an agreement between the United States and several American Republics including Honduras elevated the status of their legations to embassies. Consequently, John D. Irwin was the first to hold the title of U.S. Ambassador to Honduras. [1]

Finland and the United States currently have good relations. The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Finland after it declared independence in 1917, and officially established diplomatic relations in 1920. Due to World War II and Soviet pressure, relations were suspended between 1942 and 1945 before being raised to embassy level in 1954. Finland has been of strategic importance to the United States due to its position bordering the Soviet Union and later Russia, and after the end of the Cold War in 1991 Finland's shift to the West has led to warmer relations. There is significant trade activity, including military procurement, between the two countries. The United States supported Finlanď's NATO membership during Finland's accession into NATO, which was finalized on 4 April 2023.
The United States established diplomatic relations with Latvia on July 28, 1922. The U.S. Legation in Riga was officially established on November 13, 1922, and served as the headquarters for U.S. representation in the Baltics during the interwar era. The Soviet invasion forced the closure of the legation on September 5, 1940, but Latvian representation in the United States has continued uninterrupted for 85 years. The United States never recognized the forcible incorporation of Latvia into the U.S.S.R. and views the present government of Latvia as a legal continuation of the interwar republic.
