The Bonus Army was motivated to march on Washington, D.C. in 1932 to demand pay for service during World War I. Specifically, they sought early cash payment of the bonus that had been promised to them for their wartime service, which was set to be paid in 1945. The march was a response to the economic hardships of the Great Depression, as many veterans were struggling financially and sought immediate relief from the government.
