Best Answer

Numerical superiority helps ensure military victory. In any conflict, you don't want to be evenly matched, you want to have overwhelming advantage. You minimize your losses that way. In other words, if you hold a 2:1 advantage on the field of combat, you stand to lose much less than 50% of your force.

Trying to maintain an advantage across multiple fronts consumes substantial resources. Enemies do not attack strong points, they attack where you are weakest. Splitting forces is generally considered a bad idea, unless both forces are concentrating on the same enemy position.

Why was fighting a war on multiple fronts a challenge for the US in world war 2?

The US fought in many different parts of the world during the war. A front is just a boundary between countries involved in the war, so multiple fronts is just, multiple of these different boundaries. The US fought in several different fronts which included, but are not limited to, Northern Africa, South East Asia, and Europe. These were all different fronts, as they are in different locations in the world.
