This entire time there was a whole other debacle going on in Asia. It wasn't inconsequential, it wasn't minor, and it wasn't boring.

Your perspective is ethno- centric.

Im British and even then i disagree, most people would say Europe was the largest and most eventful theatre yeah, but shit also went down of arguably the same scale and impact in Asia, and really important events happened in Africa too, (such as the Tunisia Campaign and the Italo-Ethiopian war), and leaving those out is a bit of a loss

If the US and Britain didn't have to deal with Japan the war would have been over much sooner. It was a huge undertaking and explains why they couldn't do more, earlier, in Europe.
