Question

in the midst of the korean war, the disagreement between president truman and general macarthur centered on which of the following issues?

• the question of whether the president had the authority to fire macarthur
• the question of whether un forces should have invaded china
• the question of whether the invasion of inchon was necessary
• the question of whether un forces should have reached the yalu river

Explanation:

During the Korean - War, General MacArthur wanted to expand the war by invading China, while President Truman was cautious about escalating the conflict and did not want to risk a larger - scale war with China. This was the main point of disagreement between them. The other options are not the central issues of their disagreement. The invasion of Inchon was a successful operation and not a point of major contention. The question of reaching the Yalu River was related to the broader issue of the war's scope but not the core of their disagreement. And the authority to fire MacArthur was a consequence of their policy differences rather than the main point of their initial disagreement.

Answer:

B. the question of whether UN forces should have invaded China
