If President Truman had followed General MacArthur's advice during the Korean War and expanded the conflict into China, it could have escalated into a larger war, potentially involving the Soviet Union. This might have led to a direct confrontation between nuclear powers, increasing the risk of a catastrophic global conflict. Additionally, it could have undermined U.S. efforts to contain communism through diplomatic means, leading to greater instability in Asia. Overall, such a decision could have severely altered the course of the Cold War and U.S. foreign policy.
