Chiefly, President Truman’s actions were more effective in beginning the Korean War to an end. First of all, when North Korea surprisingly swept forces across the 38th parallel on South Korea on June 25, 1950 led to conflict to Korean War. After that the United Nations immediately condemned North Korea while President truman and his advisors were still deciding to how to respond. While South Korea took aid from the United Nations to stop the North Korea invasion President Truman decided to take action.

He decided to also support the South Koreans with military support. While the United States was aiding South Korea the Soviet Union was aiding the North Korea. President Truman tried his best to help the South Koreans by sending a American fleet into the waters of Taiwan and China. President Truman actions in the korean war was incredible .

He tried his best to support South Korea to fight the North Korea and provided anything they need to fight back.

Secondly, Truman did the right thing by rejecting MacArthur’s request. If he did not have stopped MacArthur for using nuclear weapons against Chinese cities that they would have been World War 3 between China and Unites State. Not only did Truman disagreed with this idea of MacArthur but Bradley alo disagreed with MacArthur. Bradley said the conflict with China would be, ” the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.” This is saying that a war with China would not get us any where and we would not get gain anything from it.MacArthur did not listen to President Truman and still continued to urge the waging war against China.

Even his superiors informed him not do this and he had no authority to make decisions of policy. After this act of MacArthur , President Truman got irate against MacArthur for his behavior so Truman decided to fire him. President Truman not only fired MacArthur only because of his behavior but Truman worried that the communist government of the People’s Republic of China might take the invasion as a hostile act and intervene in the conflict if he had let MacArthur to push a policy into North Korea to completely defeat the communist forces.

This is why Truman decided to take this step of firing MacArthur and replacing him with another general named Matthew Ridgeway. Lastly, Truman was totally right in making the decisions of whether or not to fire MacArthur and all the other decisions he made during this. President did the right by stopping MacArthur earlier rather than doing it later. By stopping MacArthur he prevented United States from engaging another war with China because MacArthur wanted to explode a nuclear bomb in Chinese cities.

Also, President Truman aided South Korea with whatever help they needed especially with military weapons to fight against the North Koreans. truman did his best during the Korean War and making MacArthur stop before he could engage the united states in war with China. President Truman actions towards the Korean war was incredible and he took great decisions to prevent United States from going into World War 3.
