=American Businesses and Banks= ==== From the beginning of the war, US companies sought profit by selling ammunition and other supplies to either side. Many American businesses did not care much about who wins the war or when, the only thing they cared about was money. Banks gave loans to countries on both sides. Although money and trade was given around on both sides, there was a big lean toward the British. A business man named Thomas W. Lamont said, "Our firm had never for one moment been neutral: we did not know how to be. From the very start we did everything that we could to contribute to the cause of Allies." ====
