The allies adopted a “europe first” strategy because
a) japan’s victory at the battle of coral sea had frustrated allied objectives b)germany, italy, and japan developed a coordinated strategy for victory
c) italy threatened to conquer the region from the eastern adriatic to east africa d) only germany was considered a serious long-term threat

The correct option is: D

Europe first, also known as Germany first, was the key element of the global strategy agreed between the United States and the United Kingdom during World War II. According to this policy, the United States and the United Kingdom would use the preponderance of their resources to submit Nazi Germany first in Europe. At the same time, they would use a containment struggle against Japan in the Pacific, using fewer resources. After the defeat of Germany - considered the greatest threat to the United Kingdom - all the forces of the allies could be focused on Japan.
