General Douglas MacArthur was relieved of his command by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951 primarily due to disagreements over military strategy during the Korean War. MacArthur advocated for a more aggressive approach, including expanding the war into China, which conflicted with Truman's desire to avoid a larger conflict. This clash over strategy and MacArthur's public statements criticizing the administration ultimately led to his dismissal, highlighting the complexities of civil-military relations in U.S. governance.
