The use of ambassadors became a political strategy in Italy during the 15th century. The political changes in Italy altered the role of ambassadors in diplomatic affairs. Because many of the states in Italy were small, they were particularly vulnerable to larger states. The ambassador system was used to disperse information and to protect the more vulnerable states. </p><p>This practice then spread to Europe during the <a href="/wiki/Italian_Wars" title="Italian Wars">Italian Wars</a>. The use and creation of ambassadors during the 15th century in Italy has had long-term effects on Europe and, in turn, the world's diplomatic and political progression. Europe still uses the same terms of ambassador rights as they had established in the 16th century, concerning the rights of the ambassadors in host countries as well as the proper diplomatic procedures. An ambassador was used as a representative of the state in which they are from to negotiate and disseminate information in order to keep peace and establish relationships with other states. This attempt was employed in the effort to maintain peaceful relations with nations and make alliances during difficult times. </p><p>The use of ambassadors today is widespread. States and <a href="/wiki/Non-state_actors" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-state actors">non-state actors</a> use diplomatic representatives to deal with any problems that occur within the international system. Ambassadors now normally live overseas or within the country to which it is assigned for long periods of time so that they are acquainted with the culture and local people. This way they are more politically effective and trusted, enabling them to accomplish goals that their host country desires. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ambassador_extraordinary_and_plenipotentiary">Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ambassador&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg/220px-Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg/330px-Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg/440px-Maria-Pia_Kothbauer_with_Vaclav_Klaus.jpg 2x" data-file-width="480" data-file-height="324" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Maria-Pia_Kothbauer" title="Maria-Pia Kothbauer">Maria-Pia Kothbauer</a>, Princess of Liechtenstein and ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Czech Republic, presenting her credentials to <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Klaus" title="Václav Klaus">Václav Klaus</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Congress_of_Vienna" title="Congress of Vienna">Congress of Vienna</a> of 1815 formalized the system of <a href="/wiki/Diplomatic_rank" title="Diplomatic rank">diplomatic rank</a> under <a href="/wiki/International_law" title="International law">international law</a>, distinguishing between three hierarchical descending categories of diplomatic representatives: full ambassadors (including legates or <i>nuntii</i>), accredited to heads of state; envoys or ministers, who were also accredited to heads of state; and finally <a href="/wiki/Charg%C3%A9_d%27affaires" title="Chargé d'affaires"> chargés d’affaires</a>, who were accredited to <a href="/wiki/Minister_of_foreign_affairs" class="mw-redirect" title="Minister of foreign affairs">minister of foreign affairs</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Diplomatic_Relations" title="Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations">Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations</a> of 1961, which took effect in 1964 and is still in force, modified the system.

The difference in accreditation is also reflected in the formal titles of envoys to foreign and Commonwealth states: e.g., British High Commissioners are formally titled "The High Commissioner for <a href="/wiki/His_Majesty%27s_Government_in_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom">His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom</a>", whereas British Ambassadors to foreign countries are known as "His <a href="/wiki/Britannic_Majesty" title="Britannic Majesty"> Britannic Majesty's</a> Ambassador". <sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, "Mister/Madam Ambassador" may be used. </p><p>In some countries, a former ambassador may continue to be styled and addressed as ambassador throughout their life (in the United States, "Mr. Ambassador" or "Madam Ambassador" may be heard). In other countries, ambassador is a title that accrues to its holder only with respect to a specific position, and may not be used after leaving or beyond the position. Some countries do not use the term while an ambassador is in the home country, as the officeholder is not an ambassador there; for example, a Canadian ambassador while in Canada is not generally addressed as ambassador, although they may be referred to as "Canadian ambassador to ..."; that is, with reference to a specific job function; the person is addressed or styled as ambassador only while holding such office. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Non-diplomatic_ambassadorships">Non-diplomatic ambassadorships</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ambassador&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Non-diplomatic ambassadorships"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In a less formal sense, the phrase is used for high-profile non-diplomatic representatives of various entities (rarely states), mainly cultural and charitable organizations, often as willing figureheads to attract media attention; for example, film and pop stars make appeals to the public at large for <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations">United Nations</a> activities, sometimes during press-swarmed visits in the foreign country.
