When it first entered World War II, why did the United States agree to commit most of its resources to the war in Europe?

The United States adopted a “Germany first” strategy after entering World War II because Roosevelt and other leaders viewed Nazi Germany as the greater danger. Germany threatened Britain and the Soviet Union and could potentially dominate Europe, so the U.S. directed most of its resources there while still fighting Japan in the Pacific. The correct choice is “Roosevelt felt that Germany was more of a threat than Japan.”
