Bonus March: A Story of Optimism

What was the result of the Bonus March?

a) The protestors got their bonus money early

b) The protestors gave up after a week of protest

c) Protestors were driven out by force

d) The protestors were bought off with half of the promised bonus

Answer:

The result of the bonus march is protestors were driven out by force. Thus the correct option is C.

In 1932, the Bonus March, also known as the Bonus Army, gathered World War I veterans in Washington, D.C. They were requesting the early payment of a bonus given to them for their service during the war.

The Bonus March resulted in the protestors being pushed out by force. Under President Herbert Hoover's orders, the US military forcibly evicted the veterans from their encampment, resulting in clashes and violence.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.
