The Introduction Of The United States In 1944, The Veterans Bill Of Rights "

After World War 1, the veteran resettlement measures in the United States went through both external and internal setbacks. The "Bonus March" declared the failure of the World WarⅠresettlement measures, due to the policy defects and the improper treatment by the Hoover government. The "Bonus March" indicated the urgency and seriousness of the veteran resettlement, which also provided a lesson for the United States to resettle veterans after World WarⅡ. When tens of millions of veterans returned after World WarⅡ. the veterans established many veteran organizations and associations, which also instituted a huge power to promote the introduction of the new G. I. Bill of Rights. The veteran organizations and associations played a significant role during the introduction of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, for instance, as political lobbying groups, as springboard for political campaigns, as representatives of veterans to mediate between the government and the Congress and as bridge between both parts. Among various veteran organizations and associations, the largest and the most influential were American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Great Depression occurred in 1930s worsened the situation of the veterans. When veteran's demand became increasingly intense, veteran organizations produced more influence on politics. Against the background, the Roosevelt government launched "the First Hundred Days" and the New Deal. At the same time, the new G.I. Bill of Rights was put on the government agenda. In June 1944, the bill was formally introduced. Although there existed some practical limitations in the G.I. Bill of Rights of 1944. the bill did produce fundamental and positive impact in American history. First and foremost, the G.I. Bill of Rights of 1944 assisted the veterans in achieving their "American Dream". A large number of the veterans enjoyed the educational benefits and employment opportunities offered by the bill, so that they improved the social and economic status. Also, those who benefited from the bill had a higher level of political attention and participation. They became the backbone of the American society and consolidated the middle class groups in the United States, which, in effect, helped the U.S. build an equal, democratic and prosperous society after World War II. Moreover, the G.I. Bill of Rights of 1944 laid a solid foundation for the large-scale development of American higher education, especially in the arenas of commercial and vocational education.
