Detailed explanation-1: -Three weeks before, on April 11, 1951, President Harry Truman had fired MacArthur as commander of the United Nations’ forces in the Korean War. Truman and the mercurial MacArthur had long disagreed about the best way to end the stalemate on the Korean peninsula.
Detailed explanation-2: -Truman relieved General of the Army Douglas MacArthur of his commands after MacArthur made public statements that contradicted the administration’s policies.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the Korean War began in 1950, MacArthur was soon selected to command United Nations forces there.
