western front
the most famous example of a two-front war was the european theatre during world war ii, when nazi germany had to confront the western allies on the west and the soviet union to the east. the germans were unable to repel either of the advances on the two fronts and eventually lost the war. while there were other contributing factors, such as the insufficiency of the wehrmacht for a long war and the abandonment of blitzkrieg tactics because of fuel shortages and a increasing need to defend territory, the two-front war was an important factor in deciding when the german military would be forced to surrender.
two-front war
the axis powers had the opportunity to force the soviet union into a two-front war by means of a japanese attack on the soviet far east, but the japanese decided against doing so because of their defeats in the soviet–japanese border conflicts. while germany and the united states remained respective threats, the soviets and japanese did not fight each another until the 9 august soviet–japanese war, three months after the surrender of germany. japan thus fought a two-front war as well and split its forces between china in the second sino-japanese war and the united states in the pacific theatre. the soviet union later invaded manchuria, worsening the situation for japan.
