What is the importance of the pacific island hopping?
The purpose of "Island Hopping" was to bypass and cut off certain heavily defended areas that did not serve an absolutely vital purpose in the Allied advance to Japan. By cutting off certain Japanese strong points, the Allies were able to, in most cases, keep those strongpoints from being re-supplied. With no way of being re-supplied, the Japanese troops stationed in those areas would literally starve or die from any of a number of tropical diseases. The primary benefit to this strategy was that by not engaging the Japanese troops in these strong points, the number of Japanese troops available for combat elsewhere would decrease while the lives of many Allied soldiers would be saved. Hope this helps.
