Why did the US fight in Europe instead of against Japan in 1942?

Actually it was a two front war so there was fighting in the Pacific. It just isn't as popular to study as the European theater. If you want to see the Pacific war watch the series Victory at Sea and it documents the battles in the Pacific.


Why was Germany an enemy of the US in World War 2?

Germany did NOT want to go to war with the US. But Germany DID want to go to war with the Soviet Union (RUSSIA), and did. The best way to defeat an enemy is to have him fighting on two sides (two fronts). Germany was already fighting Russia (Soviet Union) on the western side (western front), and needed to have Russia (Soviet Union) fighting on an Eastern side (eastern front). Japan had a reputation for fighting Russia, once in 1904-1905 (Russo-Japanese War-Japan won), and again in 1939 at NOMANHAN (Japan lost) located near Siberia. With that kind of record, Germany felt Japan might help Germany fight the Russians (again)...if Germany helped out Japan fight the United States, then Japan might return the favor. Three days after Pearl Harbor, on 11 December 1941, Germany declared on the United States. What Germany didn't know, was Japan was real tired of fighting Russia!


Why did Japan not surrender before the bombing?

Japan didn't surrender before the bombing because they wanted to get more favorable terms of surrender. The emperor wanted to maintain control of the nation and they did not want an occupation force that would keep them from building another military. On the other hand, the rest of the world did not want Japan to build their military and attack again, so the rest of the world required unconditional surrender. The Allies had already suffered enough loss during the war and did not want to send a million soldiers to their death in an invasion of Japan, so since the Emperor refused to surrender, the Allies used nuclear weapons to force compliance. There really was no other choice to President Truman at the time. The Japanese did not surrender because they had too much honor. Their emperor would not accept defeat and their people would fight to the death. They were not afraid and even after the bombs were dropped they didn't surrender. The Japanese surrendered because of the Soviet's threat to attack them.

Why did the US commit itself both to the pacific and Europe in World War 2?

Japan attacked the US in the Pacific so we had to fight them there. Germany declared war on the US on December 11, 1941; so we had to fight them too. Germany declared war on the US hoping Japan would open a "second front" on the Soviet Union, to relieve the Germans fighting on the "Russian Front." Japan had already fought the Russians twice, once in 1904-1905, then again in 1939; The Japanese were weary of fighting the Russians, and didn't want to fight them again, unless they absolutely had too.
