Charles Beecher Warren (April 10, 1870 – February 3, 1936) was an American diplomat and politician.
Charles B. Warren was born in Bay City, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1891. During World War I, He served in the U.S. Army on the staff of the Judge Advocate General, ending his service with a rank of Lieutenant Colonel and a Distinguished Service Medal.
He was an alternate delegate from Michigan to the Republican National Convention in 1908, 1912, and 1916, and a regular delegate in 1924, 1928, and 1932.
Warren served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan between 1921-1922. His arrival was eagerly anticipated in the context of up-coming Washington Conference on Far Eastern matters and armaments.Kaneko Kentarō (Harvard '98), Privy Councilor to the Emperor, and President of the America-Japan Society of Tokyo presided at a formal dinner in honor of the newly arrived Ambassador Warren; and he expressed the hope that the Washington Conference would be a golden opportunity to clear away any misunderstandings and to speak frankly about Japan's aspirations.
Not all of Warren's activities were limited to conventional Tokyo events. Following the usual Thanksgiving Day celebrations in 1922, Ambassador Warren and his two sons traveled to Korea, Manchuria and Peking; and this unremarkable trip was reported in the New York Times.
In late January 1923, Ambassador Warren took leave of the Empress before departing his post in Tokyo. In addition to Foreign Minister Uchida and Prince Tokugawa, the recently appointed Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Masanao Hanihara, was at the Imperial Palace reception.
Warren became U.S. Ambassador to Mexico in 1924.
