∙ 13y agoTo avoid fighting a full two front war. Those are hard to win. Much easier to put the most effort on one front first, then turn to the other. Also the Pacific offered a deep front that would take time for either Japan or the US to control, Europe offered a shallower front with a soft underbelly (Italy).
The fronts concentrated on in order by the Allies to defeat the Axis:
- North African
- Italy & Sicily
- Normandy
- Germany
- Pacific
- Japan
After WW2 the US War Department decided that they needed to be ready to fight all out two front wars, not just one front with mostly a holding action on the other.

∙ 13y agoWe had to pick one or the other...so in support of Europe (and what was then seen as an easier objective to accomplish) the U.S. armed forces agreed to focus on the imminent defeat of Nazi Germany before focusing its effort on Japan's eventual defeat.
One front is always preferential in a war setting vs. two or more which effectively divide & diminish your own martial strenght & resolve.

∙ 7y agoThe US joined the Allies after the Japanese attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The Allies devoted more resources to defeating Hitler because he directly threatened the Allied homelands more than Japan did. Germany is very close to Britain and Russia, while Japan is very far away. Plus freeing France from Germany's occupation would bring another Allied country back into the war.
