When President Hoover ordered that the Bonus Army be dispersed in 1932, his public image was damaged. Hoover ordered that WW1 veterans, who were protesting outside federal buildings in Washington, DC be removed by soldiers of the Army. These protesting veterans were called the Bonus Army because they wanted immediate cash redemption for their service certificates. In 1924, Congress voted to give a bonus to WW1 veterans, but they needed to wait until 1945 to collect these bonuses. However, due to the Depression, many veterans were unemployed and so wanted their bonuses early.

How did macArthurs tactics in removing the bonus Army affect hoovers political future?

General Douglas MacArthur's tactics in removing the Bonus Army in 1932, which involved the use of military force against protesting World War I veterans, severely damaged President Herbert Hoover's political standing. The violent dispersal of the veterans was widely condemned, leading to a public perception of Hoover as callous and out of touch with the struggles of ordinary Americans during the Great Depression. This event significantly contributed to his unpopularity and played a crucial role in his defeat in the 1932 presidential election.
