What was president hoover response to the bouns army?

President Herbert Hoover's response to the Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans seeking early payment of their bonuses, was to reject their demands. In July 1932, after the protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to disperse the encampment. The confrontation escalated, resulting in the use of force, which included the deployment of tanks and tear gas, leading to violent clashes and the burning of their camps. This harsh response further damaged Hoover's reputation and highlighted the government's struggle to address the economic hardships of the Great Depression.
