The term ‘Military-Industrial Complex’ gained popularity after its use by which leader ?
President Dwight D. Eizenhower
The military-industrial complex refers to the close and self-reinforcing relationship between a country’s armed forces, the defence industry that supplies them and the political leaders who fund them, which can push defence spending and policy in its own interest.
The phrase entered common use after United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower used it in his farewell address to the nation on 17 January 1961. Eisenhower, a former five-star general, warned that the country must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial complex and that only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry could keep it in check.
Harry S. Truman presided over the start of the Cold War and the National Security Act of 1947 but did not popularise the term. Jawaharlal Nehru argued for non-alignment and disarmament, and Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of America as the arsenal of democracy during the Second World War, not of a military-industrial complex.
President Dwight D. Eizenhower option is correct.
