During the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur advocated for bombing China to target its supply lines and military infrastructure, believing it would help turn the tide in favor of UN forces. He felt that the Chinese intervention in Korea was a major threat and sought to expand military operations beyond the Korean Peninsula. However, this proposal faced significant opposition from President Harry Truman and other U.S. officials, who were concerned about escalating the conflict into a broader war. Ultimately, MacArthur's recommendations led to tensions between him and the Truman administration, culminating in his dismissal in April 1951.
