After entering the war, why did the US send more troops to Europe than to Japan?

The United States adopted a “Europe first” strategy after entering World War II because Germany was seen as the most immediate threat to the Allies. The U.S. therefore concentrated more troops in Europe to defeat Germany before shifting greater attention to Japan. Choice B correctly describes this priority; the U.S. did not simply hold Germany back until Japan was defeated.
