Why was Gen MacArthur relieved of duty?

General Douglas MacArthur was relieved of duty by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951 primarily due to escalating tensions during the Korean War and MacArthur's public disagreement with U.S. military policy. MacArthur advocated for a more aggressive approach, including the use of atomic weapons against China, which conflicted with Truman's goal of containing the conflict and avoiding a broader war. Additionally, his insubordination and failure to communicate effectively with civilian leadership contributed to the decision to remove him from command.
