The War in Europe

Question 6 • Learning Lab - US History B-CR (26-27)

The Allies had to fight a global war in two theaters. What challenges might that type of war have presented? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
Troops and supplies would have to be divided between two distant locations.
B
Forces would have to be maintained and supplied over a huge part of the globe.
C
Enemy forces held the initiative in both theaters in early 1942.
D
Germany and Japan could send troops to reinforce each other when needed.

Explanation

Fighting in Europe and the Pacific meant the Allies had to split troops and supplies between far-apart theaters, while also maintaining long supply lines across much of the globe. In early 1942, Axis forces held the initiative in both theaters, adding pressure to the Allied war effort. Germany and Japan could not readily send troops to reinforce one another across the vast distances, so D was not a likely challenge.
