Answer 1

General MacArthur's landing at Inch'on in September 1950 was a pivotal moment in the Korean War, as it allowed UN forces to reclaim Seoul and push back North Korean troops significantly. However, as MacArthur's forces advanced toward the Yalu River, the situation escalated tensions in the region.

The correct response to describe the effect of this situation on the Korean War is: **Fearing an American invasion in China, Mao Zedong dispatched troops to support North Korea’s armies.** This decision by China to intervene led to a significant shift in the dynamics of the war, resulting in a protracted conflict and a eventual stalemate.
