The United States of America was the only nation in World War II to successfully fight a two-front war. Deploying forces to Europe to counter the Nazis and to the Pacific Ocean to push back Imperial Japan, the US had to employ different fighting tactics in these theaters. The island-hopping campaign of the Pacific Theater was known for its brutal military encounters.
