General Douglas MacArthur underestimated the Chinese decision to counter attack when he came too near the North Korean Chinese border. He felt we should attack China with atomic bombs and start WW III over the Korean War. He felt he could tell President Harry S. Truman what to do, and showed disrespect to the Commander-In-Chief (President Truman). He was fired, and replaced with another Allied United Nations General and the war ended in a stalemate. Nobody wanted to start World War 3, with nuclear weapons, because of the Korean War. It was the correct decision to replace General MacArthur, as starting WW III would have been a horrible mistake.

President Truman's decision to replace General MacArthur was not influenced by MacArthur's military achievements in World War II or his popularity among the public. Instead, it was primarily driven by disagreements over military strategy in the Korean War, particularly MacArthur's desire for a more aggressive approach, including potential attacks on China, which Truman feared could escalate the conflict. Additionally, concerns about maintaining civilian control over the military played a crucial role in Truman's decision.
