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.

What general was fired for disobeying the president?

General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964), who accepted the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II, was removed from the command of UN and US forces in Korea on April 11, 1951. President Harry Truman had clashed with MacArthur over the proper response to the entry of China into the Korean War on the North Korean side. Truman sought a cease-fire to disengage US and Chinese forces, concerned that the Soviet Union might support the Chinese with nuclear weapons. When MacArthur sent a letter disagreeing with this policy, and issued an ultimatum to the Chinese instead, Truman relieved MacArthur of his command. An armistice was finally signed two years later.
