Southern Europe: Italy, U.S., Britain
North Africa: Germany, U.S., Britain, Italy
Burma/India: Britain, Japan
The Rest of the entire pacific theater

I don't know how you can even argue this. World War 2 was a much larger war, being fought over a much larger geographic region, between more nations, with a greater number of men, etc. There really is no argument.

Common trend I've picked up on is that WWI is bigger (historically speaking) with the Brits and WWII is bigger in the US. I think it boils down to the number of families that were directly affected by each war on each side.

This could be true. WWII was definitely the bigger war though.

I'm not debating the fronts of WW2.
It was you who said WW1 didn't have many.

I did?

edit: oh wait, I see, I misunderstood you're bar brawl analogy. I thought you were trying to say WWI had more fronts or something.

Yeah. I think I misunderstood your reply too.
