Why was President Truman against declaring war on China during the Korean War
TRUMAN
Truman did not want to give cause for World War 3 with China. He was afraid that the Soviet Union might come to China's aid. The situation could have escalated into a planet- wrecking Nuclear conflict. MacArthur favored expanding the war to China, and may have made remarks about bombing (either conventional or tactical nukes) the China Wall, this may explain his removal by President Truman. It should be noted the popular phrase ( Mac Arthur"s Bombers) aside- this was even an amusement park ride at one time- MacArthur was a Ground Army general, not an airman- unlike, say Curtis E. Lemay of SAC, or Hap Arnold in World War II, both AF officers.
These bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan and not in China.
because they both wanted to go to El Salvador ( the best country in the world)
General MacArthur wanted to bomb China and President Truman did not agree. It was settled when the President basically fired General MacArthur.
President Harry Truman
That is Taiwan.
President Truman and Douglas MacArthur disagreed about whether or not the US should use nuclear weapons against China. China had said they would support North Korea in the war. Truman relieved MacArthur of his command in 1951.
Gen, Douglas MacArthur opposed a limited war because he sought a successful conclusion of hostilities but Truman , and rightly so , wanted to avoid an all out war with China and North Korea .
