During the Korean War, which of these individuals wished to avoid a nuclear confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union? A. US president Harry Truman B. US general Douglas MacArthur C. North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung D. US secretary of state John Dulles

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. US President Harry Truman

Explanation:

General MacArthur, angered over Chinese involvement in North Korea, wanted the United States to bomb China. US president Harry Truman disagreed. He was concerned that bombing China would lead to war with China’s ally, the Soviet Union, and potentially to the use of nuclear weapons. Because Truman disagreed with MacArthur’s foreign policy, he fired the popular general.
