MacArthur's Initial Response to the Korean War + Bonus Q&A

The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces invaded South Korea, aiming to unify the peninsula under communist control. The conflict rapidly escalated, prompting a United Nations response led by the United States. When the war started, MacArthur, then Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in Japan, was overseeing the post-World War II occupation and reconstruction of Japan. In this episode, MacArthur Memorial historians Amanda Williams and Jim Zobel discuss MacArthur's initial response to the war. This episode also includes a bonus Q&A of listener questions that were recorded after the main program. YouTube Version: MacArthur's Initial Response to the Korean WarYouTube Q&A: MacArthur's Initial Response to the Korean War Q&AHave a comment about this episode?
