Question

what dangers do you think churchill foresaw that encouraged him to support a second front against europes soft underbelly rather than solely an invasion of france as the initial relief for soviet troops.

Answer 1

Answer:

A rather suiting name,"the soft underbelly of Europe". Italy was in good proximity and more vulnerable to their allied forces.

Explanation:

Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin (1879-) had argued an invasion from the west, relieving his army from fighting Germany in the east.

Churchill however saw that it could be less effective to attack through Normandy, France since Italy was in good proximity and could be penetrated easily with the strength and number of their allied forces. He saw they could easily procceed from there and even gain more grounds. His view prevailed.
