Answer 1

The Nye Committee charge contributed to isolationist sentiment in the 1930s, although there was little evidence of direct influence on President Wilson's decision to enter World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nye Committee charge that war profiteers in banking and industry had pressured the United States to enter World War I was a factor feeding isolationist sentiment in the 1930s.

According to the investigation conducted by the Nye Committee, there was evidence that so-called 'merchants of death' had made a profit from the war.

However, there was little evidence to suggest that bankers and armaments manufacturers had overly influenced President Wilson's decision to enter the war.

Answer 2

The claim that the Nye Committee's findings contributed to the isolationist sentiment in the 1930s is true, although evidence of significant influence on President Wilson's decision to join WWI by war profiteers was lacking.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that one point feeding isolationist sentiment in the 1930s was the Nye Committee charge that war profiteers in banking and industry had pressured the United States to enter World War I is true. The Senate committee, led by Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, was tasked with investigating the claims that industrialists and bankers, labeled as "merchants of death," had profited from the war and had a hand in the U.S. decision to join the conflict. While the committee discovered that these merchants had indeed profited and showed some resistance to international disarmament, evidence that they significantly influenced President Wilson's decision to enter the war was lacking.
