When did the bonus bill happen?

Answer 1

The "bonus bill," formally known as the Adjusted Compensation Payment Act, was enacted in the United States in 1936. It provided veterans of World War I with a bonus for their service, which was initially promised to be paid in 1945 but was advanced due to economic conditions during the Great Depression. The bill culminated in the controversial Bonus Army march in 1932, where thousands of veterans protested in Washington, D.C., demanding immediate payment of their bonuses.
