Truman did not grant permission to MacArthur to invade North Korea for it would aggravate China and get the United States into an even longer war within Asia. Many members of the UN had also pressured the United States to not further its involvement in Korea which furthered Truman to disallow MacArthur to invade North Korea.

∙ 14y agoThe disagreement was not about taking over China. It was about using nuclear weapons along Yalu River to cut China off from North Korea. On a much larger scale, the disagreement came down to who exactly controls the military, Truman (Civilian) or MacArthur (Military). Truman let him know that it was Civilian.

∙ 9y agoIf you are talking about McArthur's request to resign, it is because President Truman had said to his Staff: "I want him fired. I don't want the bastard to resign on me". Truman (and many of his advisers) had come to the conclusion that McArthur was guilty of refusing to follow orders and Truman decided that it had to be made clear that not following orders by an army officer, however exalted, should lead to punitive action.
