Despite its short life, it was a successful movement that attracted wide support and caused serious discussion about the role of the federal government in providing bonuses to veterans. It focused American attention on the bonus issue, which had been a political issue for many years.College studentsPolitical activityUnited StatesHistory20th centuryStudent movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPeace movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPacifismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918United StatesInfluenceVeteransGovernment policyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesSocial conditions1933-1945College studentsPolitical activityHistoryStudent movementsHistoryPeace movementsHistoryPacifismHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Influence.VeteransGovernment policyHistory378.1/9810973Whisenhunt Donald W1497596MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785436803321Veterans of Future Wars3722788UNINA
