Best Answer

General Eisenhower never called a truce in World War 2. His forces and the allied forces won World War 2 with the Japanese and Germans surrendering to the Allied forces. The Axis forces lost World War 2.

You could be thinking of the Korean War when the allied forces repelled the North Korean Communist Forces back over the 38th Parallel. There was truce called in that war. The Korean war never had an armistice or surrender. The war is still in effect and the warring could start again some day.

What US president ended the Korean war?

Harry S. TrumanI don't think this is correct, the war ended in a stalemate months after Truman was no longer president. By this time the soviets also had nuclear weapons and they backed North Korea so the use of an atomic weapon would have been reckless to say the least. i think you are confused with the 2nd world war in which atom bombs were used by Truman to punish the Japanese.Editor's Note: President Eisenhower is the correct President for this answer.According to one author of Wikipedia, under the heading of Dwight D. Eisenhower: "As President, Eisenhower threatened to use nuclear weapons, forcing China to agree to a cease-fire of the Korean War. He maintained pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, gave priority to inexpensive nuclear weapons and reduced the other forces to save money."I could not have said it any better than that author so I had to quote him. (I think it was Graham87 but I am uncertain it was him for certain.)
