what are two examples of how the fighting in the Pacific Theater was different than the fighting in the Europe

Answer 1

There were alot of differences. The climate was a huge difference the hot tropical climate means you need different equipment, infections and gangrene are bigger problems as were malaria and plain old dehydration. also in the pacific the fighting was done island to island so naval support was alot more important. resupply was more difficult. The biggest difference however was in the enemy themselves. The japanese considered being taken prisoner to be a terrible disgrace for themselves and their families so they were not as likely to surrender as the germans were. This also affected the way they treated their p.o.w.s they had little or no respect for them.
Also the european theater was a mechanized war using alot of tanks and artillery in the pacific the terrain did not allow tanks to be very effective so it was mostly an infantry war with naval guns taking the place of field artllery

Answer 2

Apart from the difference in climate the war in the Pacific was based on naval strength because most of the fighting was island by island. Aircraft carriers were particularly important.
In Europe it was mainly a land battle in which the tank was the most important weapon

Answer 3

the difference was the japanese were seen as subhuman and the japanese considered surrender as not an option. germans were seen as white and on the same level as the americans. also in the european theater it was given a priority over the pacific one the european theater required mainly land missions while the pacific required island hopping
