The Korean war began because the communist North invaded capitalist South. The UN and US made up the majority of troops defending the South from the North.
Truman put McArthur in charge of US troops...
McArthur's success= US troops managed to cross the 38th parallel into the North so Truman told them to attempt to take over the North.
McArthur's failure= Truman told him not to cross the Yalu river into a Northern area, McArthur ignored this and crossed it anyway leading to 3000 US soldiers dying!
