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 “Europe first” strategy because leaders viewed Nazi Germany as the greater threat to the Allies and to the balance of power. They committed most resources to defeating Germany while still fighting Japan in the Pacific. Thus, the correct choice is that Roosevelt felt Germany was more of a threat than Japan.
