When
the Korean War began in 1950, MacArthur was selected to
command United Nations forces there. After stemming the North
Korean advance near Pusan, he carried out a daring landing at Inch'on
in September and advanced into North Korea in October as the
North Korean Army rapidly disintegrated. In November, however,
massive Chinese forces attacked MacArthur's divided army above
the 38th parallel and forced it to retreat to below Seoul. Two
months later MacArthur's troops returned to the offensive,
driving into North Korea again.
