B. The Bonus March

During the great depression, which started in 1929, many people went broke and were unemployed beceause of the financial crisis.

For the war veterans, the situation wasn't better:  many of them lost their jobs and fortunes. Devastated, they asked President Hoover to give them their veterans bonus in advanced. The US Treasury assign each WW1 veteran a bonus with the value of 1 dolar o 1,25 dolar depending on each day they served America in the country or abroad. In 1924 the Congress pass the bonus bill, so by 1945 the veterans would have perceived the amounts with their corresponding interests charges.

They camped near the river and the Congress, keeping the camp in calm and order.  On the 17th of June, the advance bonus payment was disallow by the Capitol and the General Attorney, William Mitchell, gave the order to the police to exit the marchers. The marchers resisted and the police killed to people. President Hoover was concerned and asked General in Chief Douglas MacArthur to complete the expulsion sowing caos and destruction among the veterans and their families.
