Map of Korea during Korean War

Essential Question: How did Americans respond to President Truman’s decision to fire General MacArthur?

Truman’s firing of MacArthur Is it a big deal to fire a general? Why or why not? Based on what you know about Korea and the Cold War, do you think the public sided with Truman (who wanted diplomacy) or with MacArthur (who wanted to invade mainland China)? Why?

Impact: Korean war ended in stalemate, split at 38th parallel. Truman’s firing of MacArthur cost him in popularity at home. Cold War paranoia increased.
