The Bonus Army was a group of World War I veterans who marched on Washington, D.C., in 1932 to demand the early payment of a bonus that had been promised to them for their military service. Due to the Great Depression, many veterans were struggling financially and sought immediate relief. Their demands were ultimately met with resistance from the government, leading to a violent confrontation when federal troops were deployed to disband the protest. The event highlighted the plight of veterans during the economic crisis and raised awareness of their struggles.
