The "two-front war" bit is actually true, sir. Most historians will cite Europe as the first of the two theaters, which is accurate since that part of the war began in the late 1930's with the German takeover of Poland. The second theater developed in the Pacific when the Japanese launched their Kamikaze offensive at Pearl Harbor in late 1941, pulling the US in much further than they were prior (they had previously only provided low-level support to European allies). The US eventually got involved with the Europen front on June 6, 1944, known as "D-Day", and according to American history sources, the decision to storm the beaches of Normandy turned the war squarely in favor of the Allies.
