apr 11, 1951 - Truman Fires MacArthur (April 11, 1951)

Description:

US President Harry Truman dismissed General MacArthur, leader of the US troops in South Korea, from his position.This decision stemmed from MacArthur’s invasion of North Korea during Truman’s attempts at a ceasefire. This event is significant because Truman believed that MacArthur overstepped his authority, defied direct order from his superior, and interfered with Truman's goal of ending the Korean War quickly.
