In virtue of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act, U.S. World War I veterans were granted certificates, or bonuses, for their service in the Armed Forces during the Great War to be redeemed in 1945. Due to the onset of the Depression, in 1932, a large group of veterans out of jobs and desperate to get some money to support their families, marched to Washington D.C. where they camped in order to request the government to honor the bonuses well ahead of their redemption date. The government refused and had U.S. Army units remove the demonstrators by the force of arms, including six tanks, resulting in two World War I veterans killed and over a thousand injured. Four years later the Congress ordered the payment of the certificates nine years before their redemption date.
Sunken Phoenician ships have been discovered from the deep Mediterranean waters near Ashkelon, in modern-day Israel, to the Spanish shoreline.
The Germans reacted to the Treaty of Versailles with horror and outrage.
Feelings of injustice: The German leaders did not feel that they alone had caused the war. They felt that they should have been involved in treaty negotiations.
Reparations: Many Germans felt that these were unfair and that Germany could not afford to pay as its economy had been crippled by the cost of fighting the First World War.
Loss of territory: The loss of territory was deeply resented by the German people. Some Germans were now living in countries ruled by foreign governments. The Saar, an important industrial area, was now controlled by the League of Nations but had effectively been taken over by France.
The League of Nations: Germany felt further insulted by not being invited to join the League of Nations.
Military terms: The Germans felt that an army of 100,000 was too small for a country of Germany's size. The army was a symbol of Germany's pride.
War guilt cause: The Germans did not believe that they alone were responsible for the outbreak of the First World War.
Hope this helped!
