Originally, some controversy centred around the classification of diplomatic representatives, particularly as regards matters of precedence and relative status. The attribution of the title of Ambassador, as distinct from Minister, to the head of a diplomatic mission depends on various factors, including the rank of the States concerned. Sometimes an embassy is a matter of tradition, as for example between France and Switzerland. Usually, however, now, the population and importance of the country of mission are the determining factor. There are none the less many cases of anomalies in the allocation of embassies, which reflect a lack of uniformity of practice. 1, record 3, English, - status%20of%20ambassador
