2 Different Wars?

During the second world war, the U.S. was practically fighting in two different places against two different enemies. The Pacific war and the European war. And really these two places couldnt be much more different. The Pacific consisted of mostly sea and air battles with some close range fire fights on islands. There was not much heavy duty armory, but there was alot of infantry and bombings. On the other hand the European war was totally different. It consisted of the whole continent so there was much more room which consisted of much more fighting. The germans had tanks, armor, bombs, battleships, and fighter planes. This side of the war i think consisted of much more tactical strategys that played a future role in the war, where in the Pacific there wasnt much else you could do then to just try and sink the enemies battleships and try to take islands. Both had important battles that were crucial to U.S. success, but they were so totallly different that soldiers fought completely different battles. How do you think these two different war scenes were alike and how do you think the soldiers could compare with each other what happened?
