This article focuses on the political conditions and the U.S. foreign policy. Most of the U.S. citizens understand that the president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and that no general can win even as limited a war as the Korean campaign merely as a personal project. The timing was clearly geared to military events, and it may safely be said that it was General Douglas C. MacArthur who decided on the date for the landing at Inchon, which dealt the North Koreans the fatal blow. With the liquidation of the war an imminent reality, policy had to be laid down quickly for the peace and rehabilitation of the country.
