06.04 SWBS Chart
The "Somebody-Wanted-But-So" chart is an excellent way to summarize important information from history. In it, you identify a person or group of people; their goal, need, or want; what conflict of interest stood in the way; and the outcome. This strategy works great because history depends on the needs, wants, and actions of humans. Use the chart to show your understanding of people, countries, and organizations in the Korean War.
Part 1 – Complete the following chart using information from the lesson.
Somebody ...
Wanted ...
But ...

Part 2 – You will create four paragraphs, one for each question below. Each response must be in your own words and in complete sentences as well as include evidence from the lesson.
1. How did General Douglas MacArthur react to the events in Korea? What was his stance on the Korean War?
2. How did President Truman respond to the events in Korea? What was his stance on the Korean War?
3. Which leader's actions were the most justifiable—General McArthur's or President Truman's? Support your claim with evidence from the lesson.
