Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 â 5 April 1964) was an American five-star general and field marshal of the Philippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II.
MacArthur had made remarks critical of Truman, and Truman feared the consequences to civilian control over the military. On April 11, 1951, Harry Truman, the president of the United States, fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his post as commander of the U.N. forces in South Korea at the height of the Korean War.
