Chapter 37. 57 - 60.


57. After UN security council condemned N. Korea as an aggressor, Truman sent American aid to S. Korea to help.

58. The U.S was officially campaigning UN's police action, but was mainly just obeying Washington's orders, not UN's

59. MacArthur's error was underestimating the strength of China's fighting ability. His loss resulted in a blockade of Chinese coast and bombing of Chinese bases in Manchuria. This action was at odds with the administration policies because the U.S did not want nor need to widen Korean conflict and chance a war with the USSR.

60. Truman fired MacArthur because he refused to quit fighting the Korean war in China.
