Why did the Allies adopt the Europe First policy in World War 2?

The Nazi Germans had already taken over most of Europe. It was imperative the Allied Forces defeat Hitler and the brutal Nazis before they invaded England and the USA. The atrocities of the Nazis had to be stopped. They would murder at the drop of a hat. The Japanese were a problem but they were not the enemy the Nazis were. In Russia alone they annihilated 20 million Russian (or Soviets if you prefer). Therefore it was decided to split out the effort where nearly 3/4ths of the forces and equipment would go to the European Theater. In the Pacific Theater they did manage to defeat the Japanese with less troops and sailors. At the end of the European war they sent men to the Pacific to prepare for the Japanese mainland invasion. That invasion was prevented when the Emperor of Japan came to his senses after the atomic bombing and surrendered.
