South Korea was on the verge of losing the Korean War. However, USA felt that if South Korean was taken over by the Communists then Japan was not too far away from being attacked. They decided to send large number of troops to South Korea and General Douglas MacArthur was the leader of the troops.

Now, if you look at the Korean map. You can notice that Incheon is located in the left middle of the whole Korean peninsula. Douglas felt that if he were to attack Incheon, he could divide the North Korean armies, resulting in detoriation of the army. The attack is remembered as "Battle of Incheon". From the battle, the South Koreans and USA united raided the confused North Koreans and were about to unite the country when China stepped in. Roosevelt, the president of U.S then, decided not to mess with China, hence he ordered his troops to come back to U.S.

MacArthur rebuffed his boss's order and stayed, resulting in his discharge.
