Since there would be no war against China or with the USSR, which also supplied war materials to North Korea, MacArthur's actions were meant to end communism only in North Korea or, force North Korea into a speedy surrender. It's quite probable, that North Korea would remain under communist control. Truman feared an extended war that might involve the entire Chinese. It was doubtful that the USSR would enter the war which was a United Nations war.

What did general MacArthur mean when he said I shall return and why was it important to the the Americans?

When General Douglas MacArthur stated "I shall return," he was expressing his commitment to return to the Philippines after being forced to evacuate in 1942 during World War II. This promise became a symbol of hope and resilience for both American soldiers and Filipinos, who were enduring Japanese occupation. The phrase represented a pledge to liberate the Philippines, bolstering morale and reinforcing the resolve of American forces in the Pacific campaign. Ultimately, MacArthur's return in 1944 signified a pivotal moment in the Allied effort to reclaim territories from Japanese control.

What was General Douglas MacArthur's importance in the second battle of the Philippines?

General Douglas MacArthur played a crucial role in the Second Battle of the Philippines, which occurred during World War II in October 1944. As the commander of Allied forces, he orchestrated a successful campaign to liberate the Philippines from Japanese occupation, fulfilling his earlier promise to return after being forced to evacuate in 1942. His strategic planning and leadership were instrumental in coordinating land, air, and naval operations, ultimately leading to the defeat of Japanese forces and restoring Philippine sovereignty. MacArthur's victory in this campaign significantly boosted Allied morale and contributed to the overall war effort in the Pacific.


Why was the supreme commander in the far east relieved of his command in the Korean War?

Because he disagreed with the policies of his president, which in itself is not so bad, but he said so publicly, for quotation in newspapers, in an effort to undermine his president. America has a tradition of civilian control of the military, and this behavior flew in the face of that cherished tradition, a cornerstone of American democracy. The general was MacArthur, who had been on active duty fifty years, and always felt himself to be especially anointed by the almighty. He had little respect for Truman, who had been a captain in WWI, while MacArthur was a general, and a professional soldier. MacArthur thought he knew better, and had the lack of restraint to say so. What MacArthur wanted to do was widen the war. The Chinese had entered the war on the side of the North Koreans. This was a complete surprise to MacArthur, despite the Chinese having clearly said if MacArthur's forces approached within a certain number of miles to the Yalu River (the Korean-Chinese border), they would intervene. And that's just exactly what they did. MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons against China. Truman wanted to avoid starting WWIII.

How did the US try to contain communism using military methods?

Yes. The United States attempted to stop the USSR from spreading communism by supplying armaments, financing, and military support to countries on the verge of falling into a communistic government. The Korean Police Action and Vietnamese Conflict were attempts at stopping communism from overtaking the countries of Korea and Vietnam. The United States aided Afghanistan in the ten year war against Russia, which was an effort in keeping communism out of the Middle East.
