McCarthy claimed that there were known communists in the State Department. He held investigations and hearings and which ruined many careers.

When McCarthy attacked the US Army as a hotbed of communist activity, the Senate finally censored him and he died a broken politician.


Is there anybody that disagree that Truman should not have used the atomic bomb?

My opinion is, Truman should have used the atomic bomb. If he hadn't the war would have continued, and more would have died. Also I think that at one point the Axis would have dropped a atomic bomb on an allied city, possibly killing more then at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.


What Factors led to General Douglas McCarthur being fired by Truman?

During the early stages of the Korean War, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was a proponent of liberating the entire Korean Peninsula from communist influence. President Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson felt that if this plan was followed it would cause the Communist Chinese to enter the war and expand it beyond acceptable limits. Following the Inchon landing, General MacArthur's United Nations troops pushed the North Koreans north to the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. General MacArthur advocated attacking Chinese forces, but was denied this action by President Truman and Secretary Acheson. General MacArthur then began to publicly disagree with his Commander in Chief and to seek to weaken him politically with the support of U.S. Senators, including Joe McCarthy. President Truman's statement on April 10, 1951 can be found at the link below.
