          Ah, so was WWII fought on just one front?

          And here’s me thinking that it was a war fought in many fronts, and that was a large reason why it was won against insurmountable odds

          Germany had been ramping up their military and triggered a war when many of the Alliance forces were in a time of relative stability and so had less military ready to go, alliance lost many of the early fights until they started fighting them on multiple fronts

            Yes. Germany fought in multiple fronts and lost. Allied, as individual countries, fought mainly on a single front in WW1 and WW2, biggest exception being the US in WW2. And they came in late with an unmatched capacity.

              Are you deliberately misunderstanding?

              Look at US Revolution. While Washington et al were fighting in the field, Ben Franklin was waging war by trying to get France involved. Spies were monitoring the Brits. The Americans had numerous efforts going on on several fronts.
