Who said anything about comparing the level of warfare in Asia to that in Europe?
It's blatantly obvious that a war in Asia with it's tropical climate, vast tracts of ocean with many scattered small land masses is going to be radically different to a war in the densely urbanized, temperate climate, singular land mass of Europe.
To relegate the war in the Pacific as nothing but a sideshow to the war in Europe ignores the strategic impact that the PTO had and further to that, it belittles or worse, denies, the strategic impact it had.
