The Allies attempted to reagin control of the Pacific by using a strategy of island hopping. Basically, they would capture islands of strategic value, dodging arounds those that weren't that important. The Allies adopted General Douglas MacArthur's strategy to reach Japan, which was the capture of the Philippines and then Okinawa, over Nimitz's strategy, the capture of the Marianas and then Formosa. Eventually, the importance of the Marianas as a base for logistical and aerial support was realized, leading to it's capture, and Iwo Jima, which could serve as a base for escort fighters for B-24s, 25s and 29s coming from Saipan (in the Marianas) as well as an airfield for premature landing of planes and a possible staging area for an invasion of Japan, was soon captured by the Allies. From then on, a strategy of heavy Bombing of Japan before an ultimate invasion occurred . This ended with Japan's surrender to the Allies.
