The Bonus Army was a group of World War I veterans, along with their families and affiliated groups, who marched to Washington, D.C., in 1932 to demand the immediate payment of a bonus that had been promised to them for their military service. Due to the Great Depression, many veterans were struggling financially and sought the early payment of the bonus, which was originally set to be paid in 1945. The protest culminated in a significant confrontation with the U.S. Army, leading to the eviction of the veterans from their encampments in the city.
