Question

Which of the following was an important challenge of fighting a two-front war for the Allies? preventing the spread of a two-front war to North America identifying generals to lead in both theaters of the war supplying the troops across a huge part of the globe limiting the ability of Germany and Japan to combine forces

Answer 1

Supplying the troops across a huge part of the globe.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be supplying the troops across a huge part of the globe

It was not possible for Germans and Japanese to connect forces because of the vast amount of land between them and the fact that they had to start fighting a defensive war, not an offensive one. It was difficult to supply everyone because for example, the British were fighting in both Europe and Africa, while the Americans were fighting in both Europe and the Pacific. This meant that people had to support both sides to prevent either from being lost.
