Often times the word diplomacy is given many meanings. In Greece diploma meant “folded in two”, while in Ancient Rome the word was used to describe travel documents. The origin of the word “diploma” comes from different sides of the earth. Dating back to 432 B.C, the Congress of Sparta was an “illustration of diplomacy as organized by the Greek City States” (Nicolson 1). There has not been a documented start of diplomacy however there have been instances ranging back to the 5 th century where diplomacy arose in certain nations. It is for diplomacy that certain countries can exist in harmony. Therefore without diplomacy, much of the world’s affairs would be abolished, international organizations would not exist, and above all the world would be at a constant state of war. Diplomacy is most importantly used to complete a specific agenda. Among the many functions of diplomacy, some include preventing war and violence, and fortifying relations between two nations. The act of conducting negotiations between two persons, or two nations at a large scope is essential to the upkeep of international affairs. ![]() Diplomacy has existed since the beginning of the human race. ![]()
