Stalemate (jan 1, 1951 – jul 27, 1953)

Description:

Truman had a policy of limited war - only fighting for what you need. MacArthur disagreed and wanted to take action, leading to him being fired for insubordination. In 1951, Allied forces regrouped and stabilized their position near the 38th parallel and signed a ceasefire, creating the stalemate.
