we all know how the korean war ended but it could have ended much much more differently if truman hadent have kept macarthur on such a short leash macaurthur(often looking for glory clear in ww2)wanted to expand the conflict and atack china itself using atomic bombs to hit chinese cities and natinalist troops on formoasea(taiwan)to invade china even making an aperance on television to try and turn the american peaple in his favor this angered truman and he relieved truman of his command so my point is what do you think would have happened if macaurthors plan had been given approval taking into acount china's mutual assistance pact with the soviets could this have started a ww3?
