The mission of the Bonus Army in 1932 was to demand payment of bonuses promised to veterans. After World War I, the U.S. government had promised veterans a bonus that was set to be paid in 1945, but many veterans were struggling during the Great Depression and wanted the bonuses paid immediately. The Bonus Army organized a march to Washington, D.C., to advocate for this cause.
