Many Americans felt that the economic collapse of the European economy following World War I was the main cause of the Great Depression in the United States. Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota began a series of investigations in 1934-36 into the political activities of the munitions industry. Today that might be called lobbyist who tried to pressure Congress to pass laws favorable to the munitions industry. Nye's committee insisted that the US had been maneuvered into the First World War by the munitions industrialists like Du Pont and other companies which would make profits selling arms and munitions to the federal government for the war effort. The importance of the Nye's Committee report was that many Americans felt that the industries had pressured the US to declare war which resulted in the deaths of many American boys.

What were the findings of the Nye committee?
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.

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.
