Hat did the Bonus Army want and what happened to them?

Answer 1

The Bonus Army was a group of World War I veterans who marched to Washington, D.C., in 1932 to demand the immediate payment of bonuses that had been promised to them for their military service but were not due until 1945. They sought financial relief during the Great Depression, hoping to alleviate their economic hardships. The situation escalated when the U.S. government, under President Herbert Hoover, ordered the Army to disperse the protestors, resulting in violent clashes and the eviction of many veterans and their families from their encampments. The harsh treatment of the Bonus Army led to public outrage and criticism of the government's response to the economic plight of veterans.
