In WW2, the US fought on two major fronts, the Pacific and the European fronts. The European front can be further divided into Europe proper and North Africa where the Americans faced off briefly with the Vichy French. The Pacific front stretched for thousands of miles. In Europe, the Americans' main thrust was through France and Italy.

∙ 9y agoIn the European Theater, the two major fronts of World War II were the Western Front (in 1944-1945) and the Eastern Front (1941-1945). Axis and Allied forces also clashed in North Africa and then in Italy, but this was considered by many to be a front of minor importance. In the Pacific Theater, battles raged far and wide between Japan and the Allies, on both land and sea.

Has the us ever won a war in a foreign country while a republican president was in office?
The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln. During his tenure, the Civil War was fought and won -- however, this was not a war in a foreign country. Since Lincoln, we have fought several other wars. The Spanish American war of 1898 was fought and won while Democratic president Grover Cleveland was in office. Democrat Woodrow Wilson was in office when the United States and other Entente powers won World War I. World War II was fought and won by two Democratic Presidents -- Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. The Korean War was fought under the tenure of Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, but there is some dispute about whether that war was actually "won" and even if it is officially ended. The Vietnam War was fought under the oversight of Presidents Eisenhower (R), Kennedy (D), Johnson (D), Nixon (R) and Ford (R). It is widely accepted that this is also not a conflict that the United States "won". Now we come to perhaps your best bet of a Republican war that was "won" while the Republican was in office -- the first Persian Gulf War, fought during the administration of Republican George HW Bush.
