How did General MacArthur decision to advance toward the Yalu River change the course of the Korean War?

It was seen as a threat by the Chinese, causing them to invade Korea to repel the Americans. In response to this invasion MacArthur requested approval to use nuclear weapons and Truman fired him and replaced him with Ridgway.


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.
