General Douglas MacArthur believed that the United States should consider military action against China during the Korean War, particularly after Chinese troops intervened in support of North Korea. He advocated for a more aggressive strategy, which included the possibility of bombing Chinese bases and supply lines. MacArthur's stance was controversial and led to tensions with President Harry S. Truman, ultimately resulting in his dismissal in 1951.
General MacArthur led the UN forces in the Korean War. His plan was to completely attack China. He proposed to bomb them and take charge in the war. The UN and President Truman opposed his plan and constructed a limited war only to Korea. MacArthur, being his very rioty and outspoken self, confronted Truman's plan directly and criticised his thoughts publically. With the disagreement and the opposition, Truman fired MacArthur for his outburst and his opposition for the limited war.
