Kennan felt that the Munich agreement was no longer necessary because of two reasons. The first reason is that the defenses of the Czech people are very strong while the second reason is that apparently the German people are very much prepared to remove Hitler.
Undivided and not in quarreling states as they were when the Great Schism occurred.
After WWI and during the Great Depression the US tried to be an Isolationist nation. They put out tariffs so people would buy US (forgetting that the rest of the world was still devastated by WWI (economies included)).
<span>One of the most notable protests took place in the spring of 1932 as VETERANS marched from all over the country and converged on Washington, D.C., to demand a BONUS PAYMENT. The bonus was due these men in 1945, but economic circumstances led them to plead for an early payment. Over 20,000 men and their families formed a Hooverville on the Capitol mall hoping to be heard. Instead of meeting their demands or listening to their concerns, Hoover called in the U.S. Army, under the command of GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, who, by engaging THE BONUS ARMY, scattered the men and their families.
"The Bonus Army" is how the veterans' march was known. The overreaction by President Hoover and General MacArthur did not help Hoover when he was running for reelection that year. Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Hoover by an Electoral College landslide of 472 to 59. </span>
