A committee established on April 12, 1934, under the leadership of Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, to investigate the structure, activities, and profits of the munitions industry and its role in U.S. entry into World War I. It held ninety-three hearings from September 1934 until February 1936. It failed to prove that arms manufacturers had conspired to begin the war or to force the United States into it.
