Best Answer

Both MacArthur and Nimitz knew the major islands held by the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean had to be taken by the US. They developed an Island Hopping strategy. They would skip every other island they came to (there were too many small islands to deal with). This would cut off supply lines to the islands they skip, lessen casualties, and save a lot of time.

Japan had made the error of not devoting enough of its army to the Pacific Islands. They also failed to have enough aircraft carriers. This gave the US an advantage.

How did general Winfield Scott feel about the civil war?

He knew that it would be a long war, and that the strategy ought to be long-term, with effective blockading of the South, to squeeze the life out of the Confederacy. This was derided as the 'Anaconda Plan'. But it was actually the basis of the strategy the Union eventually adopted. Very few others realized it would be a long war, though some letters Sherman wrote to Southern friends at the beginning suggest that he was one of the few.

What was the strategy of the North and the South in the Battle of Antietam?

The North's strategy was called a persistent strategy. They wanted to capture and occupy southern territory to deny it's benefits to the South, that being manpower and materials. Later they adopted a raiding strategy when Sheridan and Sherman devastated the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and central Georgia in order to make it harder for the South to get materials. The north strategy also wanted to take control of the Mississippi river, the Confederate capital of Richmond, and take advantage of main railroads so when in battle they could easily travel from place to place to get more soldiers or equiptment. The south first held to a defensive strategy, which ment they wanted allies (British and the French, who needed the South's cotton exports) would see the North at the agressor and would come to help the South. Later the South adopted a raiding strategy and sought to take the war to the north by launching two invasions ,and captureing materials, destroying rail centers, and raiding cities. In hopes of bringing the North to peace by fanning the northern anti-war sentiment. A.L. 12/6/07
