Final answer:

During the Great Depression, veterans marched on Washington to demand early payment of their bonuses, leading to a violent clash with the military.


Explanation:

The veterans marched on Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1932 to demand early payment of their retirement bonus from World War I. This group, known as the Bonus Army, set up camps near the Capitol building and established Hoovervilles throughout the city.

President Hoover ordered the military to disperse the protestors, resulting in a violent clash with tear gas and bayonets. The incident further damaged Hoover's credibility amidst the Great Depression.
