Committee to Defend America

The Committee to Defend America was a group formed in the United States during the early 1940s, advocating for U.S. support and intervention in World War II. They believed it was essential for America to assist its allies by providing weapons, supplies, and military aid to oppose the Axis powers like Germany and Japan. The committee aimed to persuade Americans and policymakers that active involvement was necessary to defend democracy and maintain global stability. Essentially, it was a pro-intervention organization working to build support for America playing a direct role in the war effort.
