The government's reaction to the Bonus Army in 1932 was largely hostile and repressive. President Herbert Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to disperse the veterans who had gathered in Washington, D.C., to demand early payment of their promised bonuses. The army, led by General Douglas MacArthur, used force to evict the protesters, resulting in violent clashes and the destruction of their encampment. This response further fueled public outrage and contributed to Hoover's declining popularity during the Great Depression.
