Explanation:
The Cold War was a period from the end of the World War II until the beginning of the 1990's. This period is marked as having lot of tensions, arms race, space race, and fight for global power between the capitalism and the communism, with the two main players being the United States and the Soviet Union.
Yugoslavia was an interesting case during the Cold War, as this was a country that was communist but it was not an ally to the Soviet Union. Yugoslavia didn't took sides and was trying to balance between the two. The frustrations of the Soviets were so big that a war between the two almost occurred and tens of assassins were sent to murder Tito but none of them were successful.
The United States were doing everything in their power to stop the spread of communism, especially at strategically important countries, such as Turkey and Greece. With all of the Balkans being communist, the United States rushed to intervene and support the anti-communist movements and governments in these two countries.
When it came to controlling the people, the Soviet Union was brutal. The majority of the people did not like the communism and they revolted against it, as was the case in Hungary. The manner in which the Soviets reacted was terrible, sending tanks to run over the people and crush the revolt.

Hoover did not handle the Bonus Army well.
The Bonus Army was a group of 43 thousand protestors - WWI veterans and their families - who gathered in Washington DC to demand payment for their service certificates.
President Hoover did not attempt to negotiate with the protestors, first, he ordered to have them removed from government’s property and later he ordered to the Army to clear the marcher’s campsite.
To do so, infantry and cavalry was used and additionally, six tanks.
Public opinion on Hoover’s actions was strong, newspapers and newsreels - that were popular at the time - showed images of the violence perpetrated on soldiers and their families. This was considered one of the strongest factors that influenced his lost at elections to Roosevelt.
