First answer: The Eastern front and Western front. The Eastern front: Germans attacked in Moscow. Soviets counterattacked and forced Germans to retreat.
The Western front: Under General Eisenhower, the Allied forces took on Operation Overlord to invade the Nazi occupied parts of Europe. Operation Overlord was the start of D-Day.
Second Improved answer: There were actually three fronts when you include the Mediterranean/Italian Front. This front began in North Africa, then to Sicily & on to Italy. The Allies fought there way north up the boot of Italy into the southern Alps towards Austria & Germany.
The defeat of Germany was the top priority of the Allies because it was believed that Germany's defeat would assure the defeat of Italy and Japan. The defeat of Italy or Japan would not necessarily assure the defeat of Germany.
D Day was the invasion of Europe by Allied forces (France, Belgium, England, US, Canada and many other smaller nations) to start a second front to defeat Germany who occupied most of Europe at that time except Italy and Russia East of Stalingrad. It was the beginning of the end for the Axis powers and eventually lead to the suicide of Hitler and the defeat of the Nazi's.
Hitler did not fight on any front in WWII, but Nazis fought on the Eastern front,(Russia) and western front. In WW I Hitler fought on the western front, but as I remember it he was not a combat vet, he ran messages.
Once Hitler invaded The Soviet Union, he started a two front war. He was fighting Great Britain on one side, and The Soviet Union on the other. Eventually it was going to catch up to him.

The Four Allied strategies on the European front during World War II included the establishment of a strong foothold in North Africa, which served as a launching point for the invasion of Southern Europe. The second strategy was the D-Day invasion (Operation Overlord) in Normandy, aimed at liberating Western Europe from Nazi control. A third strategy involved strategic bombing campaigns to weaken German industrial capacity and morale, while the fourth was the coordination of resources and efforts among the Allies to ensure a united front against Axis forces. These strategies collectively aimed to encircle and defeat the Axis powers effectively.

The U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 significantly altered Germany's military strategy. Facing the prospect of fresh American troops bolstering the Allied forces, Germany recognized that its hopes for a swift victory were diminishing. Consequently, Germany shifted to a more defensive posture, aiming to secure its gains on the Western Front while also intensifying its unrestricted submarine warfare to disrupt Allied supply lines. Ultimately, the influx of American forces and resources contributed to the Allies' resurgence, leading to Germany's eventual defeat.
nobody knows why the battle started but they think because Hitler The Germans made a surprise attack 16 December 1944 against the Allied Forces on the Western Front.

The term two-front war refers specifically to the European Theater of War. Up until D-Day, the only land front between the Axis and Allied powers was the eastern front between Russia and Germany. The strategy behind D-Day was to open a second front against the Germans and relieve pressure on the Russians. Allied leaders hoped a second front would put stress on Germany and strain their resources. After D-Day, Germany was essentially fighting agaisnt two armies, the Russians in the east and the other allied powers to the west. The strategy worked well and after opening the second front Germany was defeated about a year later. The term two-front war refers to these two fronts the Germans faced and the strategy devised to bring about the end of the war.
Lenin's takeover of Russia in 1917 significantly impacted German war strategy by allowing Germany to redirect its military resources on the Western Front after Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. With the Eastern Front effectively closed, Germany could transfer troops and equipment to fight against the Allies in France, leading to a brief resurgence in offensive operations. However, the influx of fresh Allied forces and the subsequent failure of these offensives ultimately contributed to Germany's defeat in World War I.
