The U. S. did not want to invade Japan because they: did not have means to transport soldiers from the U. S. to Japan.
wanted to focus on the war in Europe.
feared it would lead to a significant loss of life for U. S. military personnel.
did not think they could win a battle on Japanese soil.

I believe it was the third option if I recall. Because the American military didn’t want to have any unnecessary casualties occur.

The three steps before modern english were indo-european, germanic, and old english. as peoples moved around the eurasian continent, their languages changed. throughout the ages, the languages became more specialized. as english has many germanic influences, it is easy to see how this was one of the forebears. also, old english was one of the main ancestors of the modern language, spoken in the 5th through about the 13th centuries.
