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. 606 $aCollege students$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aStudent movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPeace movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPacifism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zUnited States$xInfluence 606 $aVeterans$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1933-1945 615 0$aCollege students$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aStudent movements$xHistory 615 0$aPeace movements$xHistory 615 0$aPacifism$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xInfluence. 615 0$aVeterans$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a378.1/9810973 700 $aWhisenhunt$b Donald W$01497596 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785436803321 996 $aVeterans of Future Wars$93722788 997 $aUNINA
