so now what am i supposed to put on the board instead of compromise?
As has been pointed out, attempts were made at compromise BEFORE Pearl Harbor.
We don't know what kind of "board" you are to create. A timeline would indicate that efforts at compromise were made BEFORE the war. Once the war started, no one was willing to (or able) to compromise.
I will not respond to further questions about compromise during the war.
By the way, extreme efforts were made by the British, particularly Prime Minister Chamberlain, to compromise with Hitler in Europe. The result was invasion of Poland by Germany and all out war until the Axis was totally defeated. WW2 in both East and West was a time when satisfactory compromise could not be reached. The more Chamberlain compromised, the worse the conflict reared.
Many compromises were made AMONG THE ALLIES about how to wage the war, when to invade and where, etc., but not WITH the enemies.
To determine what you can put on the board instead of "compromise," you'll need to consider the context in which the word is being used and find a suitable alternative. Here are a few suggestions for possible replacements:
1. Collaboration: This word can be used when you want to emphasize the importance of working together and finding common ground to reach a solution.
2. Negotiation: If the focus is on finding a mutually beneficial agreement through discussion and compromise, "negotiation" could be a suitable alternative.
3. Conciliation: This term implies the process of resolving differences or disputes by promoting peace, harmony, and understanding among different parties.
4. Alternative: In certain situations, instead of compromising, you may want to encourage exploring alternative options or solutions that meet the needs of all parties involved.
5. Mediation: This term refers to the involvement of a neutral third party who facilitates a discussion between two or more parties with the goal of reaching a satisfactory resolution.
Remember, the best alternative word to use will depend on the specific context and desired outcome of your situation.
