France had already fallen, Russia was holding it's own, so the US's strategy was to SAVE England (Great Britain) FIRST (Europe also), then defeat Japan. A LARGE part of this strategy stemmed from Churchill's constant lobbying efforts with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Had it not been for Churchill's efforts, Roosevelt may have had his Admirals & Generals do as they wished...as was attacking Japan in retaliation for their attacks on the United States. The people of the United States wanted to fight Japan...Roosevelt & Churchill were guided to fight Germany first (to save Great Britain).
