ng stunned by China’s Red Army, Douglas MacArthur wanted payback – MacArthur demanded President Truman allow him to use the US military’s deadliest weapon, the nuclear bomb. MacArthur wanted to drop 50. The president thought it over; and decided against it. It was the end for MacArthur but not the war. A bloody stalemate settled over the Korean peninsula.

1d:T45c,It was early in the morning of 2 April, 1982, that the first British shots of the Falklands War were fired when a handful of outnumbered Royal Marines opened up on the invading Argentines. Hours later the Marines were lying face down on the road, surrendered and humiliated - the photograph shocked Britain and stunned her struggling Prime Minister. Margaret Thatcher and her government were unpopular and unready but their response was emphatic; the Falklands would be taken back by force… Britain was going to war. So began a conflict labelled Britain’s last colonial war, one that left an indelible mark on both Britain and Argentina, not just in terms of precious lives lost but also on the future of those that governed them.
