Two Front War
In military terminology, a two front war is a war that is waged on two separate fronts that are usually opposite each other. It is usually executed by two or more separate forces similtaneously, or near simultaneously, in the hope that ones opponent will be forced to split his or her fighting force to deal with both threats, therefore enhancing the odds of success for a given campaign. Perhaps the most famous example of a two front war was the European Theatre during World War II when Hitler and the Nazis had to deal with troops from the United States and the United Kingdom, who were coming from the West, and troops from the Soviet Union coming from the East. Hilter and his Nazis were unable to repeal either of the two fronts advances, and in the end this resulted in Germany's loss of World War II.
