Save Europe first (read save Britain, since Britain was the only one remaining, other than the USSR...which was holding it's own). Churchill had been lobbying for years to get FDR into the war. After Pearl Harbor, the American people wanted to defeat Japan first, as Japan attacked the US...Germany did not! However, Churchill's lobbying efforts paid off, and FDR agreed to defeat Germany first.
There was price for that "Germany first" policy however; the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps received no reinforcements during their fighting in the Philippines, etc. in 1942; thus they had to surrender (the largest US surrenders in US history).
