President Herbert Hoover responded to the Bonus March of 1932, where World War I veterans demanded early payment of bonuses, with a firm stance. He initially supported a peaceful resolution but ultimately ordered the U.S. Army to disperse the marchers when they refused to leave Washington, D.C. The army, led by General Douglas MacArthur, used force, resulting in violence and the burning of the veterans' encampments. Hoover's actions sparked significant public outrage and contributed to his declining popularity during the Great Depression.
