The term two-front war refers specifically to the European Theater of War. Up until D-Day, the only land front between the Axis and Allied powers was the eastern front between Russia and Germany. The strategy behind D-Day was to open a second front against the Germans and relieve pressure on the Russians. Allied leaders hoped a second front would put stress on Germany and strain their resources. After D-Day, Germany was essentially fighting agaisnt two armies, the Russians in the east and the other allied powers to the west. The strategy worked well and after opening the second front Germany was defeated about a year later. The term two-front war refers to these two fronts the Germans faced and the strategy devised to bring about the end of the war.
