The year is 1942, you are the president of the United States, and you need to decide the ultimate question of the time. Will you concentrate on Japan? Or bide into Britain's wishes for a Germany first policy? The fleets in the pacific for the most part are being reorganized, production of Carriers and many other modern ships are being conducted, 6 Carrier strike forces and other ships stand ready to strike back at Japan after a stunning victory at Midway, with morale high the American juggernaut has been awoken. If you can concentrate everything into defeating Japan the public will also get what it wants as the people demand more revenge for the attack on Pearl and a swift Japanese defeat. Now in this time frame Guadalcanal has already been successfully invaded by now as well, the war in North Africa presses on with the British making gains against Rommel in the sands of Northern Africa, the British press you on aiding them their and preparing a possible invasion of Germany as early as late 1942 to a early 1943 time table. Now historically Roosevelt went with the Germany first policy and bided into Churchill which led to the invasion of Tunisia and attacks into North Africa. Which then lead us into the invasion of Siciliy, Italy, and of course D-day and southern France. The Pacific as seen in his eyes could wait because of the least amount of threat now coming from their to the U.S. and its Allies. So Mr or Mrs President what will it be? Support the public for a full on war against Japan (Ahistorical) or go against Germany to aide the Russians (and British) and knock the most powerful country out first.
