Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) was an American general who

commanded the Southwest Pacific in World War II (1939-1945), oversaw

the successful Allied occupation of postwar Japan and led United Nations
forces in the Korean War (1950-1953). A larger-than-life, controversial
figure, MacArthur was talented, outspoken and, in the eyes of many,
egotistical. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in
1903 and helped lead the 42nd Division in France during World War I
(1914-1918). He went on to serve as superintendent of West Point, chief of
staff of the Army and field marshal of the Philippines, where he helped
organize a military. During World War II, he famously returned to liberate
the Philippines in 1944 after it had fallen to the Japanese. MacArthur led
United Nations forces during the start of the Korean War, but later clashed
with President Harry Truman over war policy and was removed from
command.
