The Bonus Army

The Bonus Army is a name given to the huge march happened

in 1932 ,after the first world war in Washington DC by

previous soldiers asking for their payment for their services

during the first world war.

The congress voted for a bill in a form of bonus , to reward the 

soldiers. However the legislation declared that they will not get 

their money until 1945 this is because America was facing the 

great depression which destroyed its economy.so , these events 

led the soldiers to went in a march asking for their money since 

they became unemployed.

The soldiers set up their camps throughout Washington DC . In 

July ,28, president Hoover ordered the army to remove the 

camps of the demonstrators with the use of tanks and tear gas . 

The result of this march was that the demands were rejected 

and many demonstrators died and injured  as well as president 

Hoover received much criticism from the Americans as a result 

he did not win the election of 1932.
