The Korean War is often called "the forgotten war," but over 6 million men and women from 25 different nations served during a conflict that as of 2025 has seen any formal resolution. This included General Douglas MacArthur, who served as the commander of the United Nations forces in Korea until his controversial relief of duty by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951.
