it depends on which prespective you are looking at.
America really kind of divided because most of the Navy and Marines were in the Pacific where most of the Air Force and Army were in the European
for Britain, it was definitely Europe because it was right in their back yard and they were more directly affected.(Battle of Britain, The Blitz, etc.) where in the Pacific they only lost some territories.
In Russia, it was the European because that's where they were invaded from and also they really didn't get involved with the Pacific.
Germany was Europe because that was where they were.
The same for the Japanese and the Pacific.
