Respuesta :
The "Bonus Expeditionary Forces" (BEF), a group of unemployed World War I veterans, marched on Washington, DC in May 1932 with the aim of obtaining the bonus payment at the time when they were most in need of it.
A group of about 20,000 World War I veterans who had suffered greatly during the Great Depression and demanded compensation from the government for their contributions in "saving" democracy.
Hoover ordered the veterans to leave after the Bonus Army was rejected by Congress. Thousands of veterans and their families had flocked to Washington and had pitched tents close to the Capitol.
President Herbert Hoover instructs the U.S. Army, led by General Douglas MacArthur, to forcibly remove the Bonus Marchers from the nation's capitol during the Great Depression.
The occasion proved detrimental to Hoover politically. In May 1933, a second Bonus Army arrived, and this time the new president's wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, and presidential aide Louis Howe welcomed them.
Despite the fact that Congress failed to approve bonus legislation once more, it did establish the Civilian Conservation Corps, where many veterans were able to find employment.
