Harry S.

Truman:
On June 27, 1950, with the prominence of the Korean War, United States of America’s
President Harry S. Truman ordered naval and air troops in South Korea to assist the democratic
state by countering an attack via communist North Korea. Furthermore, President Truman
claimed that the Soviet Union had supplied tacit backing for the invasion of North Korea, aided
by tanks and armaments manufactured in the Soviet Union. Congress along with the American
citizens supported their President’s decision, despite concerns that the United States.
involvement in Korea may lead to further conflicts between Russia and the United States after
the end of the "cold war." Despite the lack of an official war declaration, Congress supported
Truman's request to extend the selection process and authorized him to mobilize the military
reserves.

On June 29, after the Soviet Union's extended absence, the Security Council Meeting took
place again and promulgated a United States resolution that authorized the utilization of military
force to help South Korea against North Korea. The following day, on June 30, President
Truman approved the deployment of the United States military forces to Korea. The Security
Council stated as well that all United Nations troops sent out to Korea be placed under a U.S.
representative command. The following day, President Truman appointed Douglas MacArthur
as the top U.N. commander in Korea.

During the initial months of the war between South and North Korea, United Nations troops
ordained by the United States rushed against the North Koreans. In October, however, the
Chinese communist country take part in the conflict as they helped the North Koreans to defend
their homeland, compelling the American allies to leave immediately. Ultimately, MacArthur was
removed from command in April 1951 when he publicly threatened to annihilate China using a
bomb. It contradicted Truman's official war policy, as the containment policy was crucial to
President Turman's administration. President Truman feared that escalating the confrontation
with China potentially drive the Soviet Union into the Korean War; this was a courageous
demonstration of civilian leadership over the military.

Douglas McArthur:

The United Nations Security Council suggested that all UN soldiers in Korea should be under
the control of the United States military. Thus the next day, President Harry S. Truman selected
General Douglas MacArthur as the main chief officer of the United Nations Command. In the
United States, MacArthur was admired and hailed with great regard. President Truman chose
Douglas MacArthur to head U.S. forces in the Korean War because he was a proven
commander and a decorated war hero who had guided many of his men to victory in World War
II.

In September, General Douglas MacArthur launched a risky but remarkable counterattack

against Inchon; by October, North Korean troops were successfully forced back beyond the 38th
parallel. With the permission of President Truman, United Nations troops invaded North Korea.
Despite concerns that this would provoke retaliation from China, troops marched all over to the
River of Yalu, the border between tied countries of communist North Korea and China.
MacArthur wanted authority to invade China after China's action prompted United Nations
forces to flee in panic. President Truman opposed the concept because of concern for the
repercussions of a protracted struggle in the Far East during the Cold War and with the fact that
Mac Arthur argued for a broader battle, he disregarded the possibility of igniting a massive
battle throughout Asia.

The goal of President Harry S. Truman was to save as many lives as possible, and he was
willing to enter into a truce at the 38th parallel in order to accomplish the objective. The general
did not agree that a ceasefire was the best course of action throughout this scenario. The
conflict gave President Truman a chance to put a halt to the development of communism in
South Korea, and he took advantage of that opportunity. On the other hand, General MacArthur
saw the conflict as a chance to rescue the North from communist domination, and he believed
that vigorous action was necessary.

During the height of the Korean War, General MacArthur often disregarded instructions from the
President, who was the Commander in Chief of the United States. President Truman effectively
removed Douglas MacArthur from his authority on April 11, 1951, due to the general's
disobedience and refusal to conduct a limited war as per the president's wanted purpose. The
news of his dismissal promptly circulated among American citizen who was dismayed by the
news.

● Gen. Matthew Ridgway

● Dwight Eisenhower

During his two terms as President, Dwight D. Eisenhower did much to ease Cold War tensions.
He guided the Allied forces to victory in Europe and helped broker a ceasefire in Korea. He
hoped to ease tensions in the Korean War by exerting his military might. South Korea's border
had finally relieved in 1953 when a truce was signed. An agreement of armistice was signed on
July 27, 1953, halting organized combat operations and segregating the Korean Peninsula along
with the 38th parallel the way it had been since the end of World War II. This occurred seven
months after President Eisenhower was sworn in as the 34th President of the United States.
