America was fighting a war in Europe and in the Pacific. So their resources had to be divided between two combat regions. And because of the distance between them, they could not support each other directly. A "front" is a continuous region of fighting. The United States is considered the only nation in history to successfully wage war on two fronts.

Major fighting against two opponents in two different places. During the Second World War it was the Japs in the Pacific and Germany in Europe. The men and supplies from the U.S. went primarily to Europe, the effort against the Japs was only enough to keep them in check until the European front was concluded.

During WWII Hitler invaded Russia, starting his own two front war, the English/Americans and the Russians. It spelled disaster for him.

Two front wars normally should be avoided.

In World War II, 1941 - 1945, they fought the Germans and Italians in North Africa, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. They fought the Japanese in the Pacific. "Front" can mean the place where infantrymen are shooting at each other with rifles, or entire continents.

I wonder if you are talking about World War II when we were fighting both the Japanese in the Pacific theatre, and the Nazis/Italians in the European theatre.

What it means is that we split our military to fight in two totally different areas.

Well......without doing any research, one example would be WWII, whereas we (The USA) were engaged in a world-wide conflict on "two fronts" i.e. the Japanese in the Pacific theater and Germany + axis forces in Europe.

That, I think would constitute at least one reasonable answer.

Abstract: The Vietnam War demonstrated how critical American public support is to sustaining successful military operations. Empowered by their experience and effect on the American public during the Vietnam War, America's media has maintained a "second-front" against the U.S. military by targeting its center of gravity, attempting to influence American public support against military operations. As a result, the military has been forced to fight a "two-front" war. In addition to its battlefield strategy, the military must fight to protect its center of gravity--America public support. The thesis of this paper is that the U.S. military must reduce the vulnerability of its center of gravity to U.S. media assaults by operating in a manner consistent with public expectations of the military and by ensuring the American public understands military goals and operations. In short, if the public understands the military's mission, how the military has accomplished that mission, and the behavior of its forces, public support should be strong enough to withstand the media's assault.
