When China sent troops to support North Korea during the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur sought to expand the conflict by advocating for airstrikes against Chinese bases and even suggested the possibility of using nuclear weapons. However, President Harry Truman and other U.S. officials were concerned about escalating the war and the potential for a wider conflict with China. Ultimately, MacArthur's aggressive stance led to his dismissal in April 1951, as Truman favored a more restrained approach to avoid a larger war.
