What was the decision to fire general MacArthur?

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.


What did Douglass MacArthur do to anger President Truman?

He refused to salute him, felt he knew better on how to fight the war than the President, he did not feel he had to take orders from the Civilian Commander in Chief, he wanted to start WW III with China, by dropping atomic bombs on China after they invaded North Korea. General MacArthur disobeyed the orders of President Harry Truman, and finally President Truman had no choice but to fire him and replace him with another Allied United Nations American General to end the Korean War in an Armistice in 1953. President Truman was correct. It would have a terrible mistake to start a nuclear World War Three on account of the Korean War, which is what General Douglas MacArthur wanted.
