Answer:
The correct answer is A. Truman fired MacArthur to preserve civilian control of the military.
Explanation:
After the invasion of North Korean troops into South Korea on June 25, 1950, MacArthur was given command of the international troops with a UN mandate, which he led to their first success when they landed at Incheon. In the course of the war and in the face of the deployment of Chinese volunteers and soldiers, he vehemently campaigned for the use of nuclear weapons in 49 North Korean cities and the expansion of the conflict into the People's Republic of China. President Harry S. Truman rejected these special requests on several occasions and finally dismissed MacArthur from his post on April 11, 1951 because of his continued and partly public urge. This decision led to violent protests in Congress and public demonstrations for MacArthur. Seven million people are said to have participated in a parade in New York. Public opinion saw MacArthur as a great war hero, while President Truman was largely unpopular.
<span>On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea’s behalf. As far as American officials were concerned, it was a war against the forces of international communism itself. After some early back-and-forth across the 38th parallel, the fighting stalled and casualties mounted with nothing to show for them. Meanwhile, American officials worked anxiously to fashion some sort of armistice with the North Koreans. The alternative, they feared, would be a wider war with Russia and China–or even, as some warned, World War III. Finally, in July 1953, the Korean War came to an end. In all, some 5 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the war. The Korean peninsula is still divided today.</span>
