General Douglas MacArthur will forever be remembered for his famous Inchon Landing during the Korean War, a tactical genius who turned the tide of the war in favor of the United Nations (UN) and the UN. South Koreans. However, what was his overall contribution to the conflict from the Inchon landings until his dismissal from office on April 11, 1951? While the Inchon landings were an unprecedented success, one that very few people could have the audacity to achieve, its success was also the catalyst for the errors of judgment that would lead to Chinese involvement in the war. The Korean War, which ultimately ended with the armistice of July 27, 1953, was not the success that many had initially promised after the Inchon landings. This essay will be strongly supported by the public from the start of the war against Harry Truman. Coming out of World War II, America needed rest and healing, not new conflict. By August 25, there had already been 6,886 American casualties, and by mid-September, when the landing took place, that number had doubled. Truman desperately wanted to end the war quickly and return the soldiers to their families, a factor that contributed greatly to his approval of MacArthur's landing at Inchon. The enormous tides at Inchon meant that only a two-hour window remained during which the landing could be executed. . After these two hours, the troops would be stranded without support until the next high tide. Additionally, the narrow canals made the passages very easy to exploit. Admiral James Henry Doyle said: “We made a list of all the natural and geographical handicaps – and Inchon had them all. » Faced with such difficult conditions, MacArthur was confident. He argued that the difficulty of the landing at Inchon would make it a complete surprise to the North Koreans, similar to General James Wolfe's attack on the Plains of Abraham. Fortunately for MacArthur, the Japanese had already managed to land at Inchon in 1904 before their occupation of the Korean peninsula. This suggested that even if the plan was bold enough not to be expected, there was still a reasonable possibility of doing so..
