The Nye Committee, officially known as the Special Committee on Investigation of the Munitions Industry, was established in 1934 by Senator Gerald Nye to investigate the influence of the munitions industry on American foreign policy and the reasons behind the U.S. involvement in World War I. The committee's findings suggested that financial interests, particularly those of arms manufacturers, played a significant role in pushing the U.S. into the war, leading to public skepticism about military engagement and contributing to the isolationist sentiment of the 1930s. The committee's work raised awareness about the potential dangers of war profiteering and influenced debates on U.S. foreign policy leading up to World War II.
