Senator Gerald Nye held hearings to look into why the US got involved in WWI in the mid 1930s. His committee came to the conclusions that sales of weapons and loans by American businesses and banks led to these industries pushing the US into war. Accordingly, Nye's committee's findings were used to justify isolationism and trade bans/Neutrality Acts in the mid 1930s, keeping the US out of WWII for a longer amount of time than they likely would have without these acts.

Why did the Nye Committee say America had entered World War 1?

The Nye Committee, formed in the 1930s to investigate the reasons for U.S. involvement in World War I, argued that America's entry into the conflict was largely driven by financial interests rather than altruistic motives. They suggested that munitions manufacturers and bankers had influenced the government to enter the war to protect their investments and profits. The committee's findings contributed to the public's skepticism about military interventions and the motivations behind them. Ultimately, they highlighted the complex interplay between economic factors and foreign policy decisions.
