Troops move north (24 nov 1950 anni – 11 apr 1951 anni)
Descrizione:
By Thanksgiving, MacArthur had launched an attack north of the 38th parallel. In spite of freezing winter conditions and perilous mountain terrain, allied troops made it to the Yalu river. By November 25th, approximately 300,000 Chinese troops attacked, as they promised. The allied troops were highly outnumbered and forced to retreat. Truman realized the war would not be won without substantial troops and possibly atomic weapons. Prompted him to adopt the limited war policy. Because MacArthur wanted to invade China, he lost trust in Truman and ended up being fired for insubordination in the spring
