World War II Strategies
Following the events at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the United States immediately declared war on the nation of Japan which in turn prompted a declaration of war against Germany. Discuss the decision made by the United States to fight a war in two theaters (European and Pacific) and how the United States “split” their resources as necessary. Did the United States appropriately put their efforts, energies, and resources in the right place? What went into the decision making process as to whether fight Germany or Japan with a heavier hand? Who was the bigger threat to the United States and why?
