For the Allies in World War II, the fundamental strategy at work in the Battle of Guadalcanal (August 1942 to February of 1943) was to effect a "check" on the offensive actions of Imperial Japan in the South Pacific while taking a first offensive step of their own. This move was successful on both counts, despite the great naval losses and casualties (on land, at sea, and in the air) that were involved.

What advantage did the Allies have by attacking Italy through North Africa?
At the time, Italy was thought by some to be the best route of attack to Germany, but in retrospect the war was lengthened and resources wasted by this strategy. With North Africa and the Mediterranean in Allied hands, Italy was effectively contained. Any advantages reaped by the Italian Campaign were greatly outweighed by the losses which the Allies incurred.

What was the naval tactic used to reduce the sinking of ships by German submarines?
The primary tactic employed by the Allies in WWII to try and initially stem shipping losses to U-boats was the Convoy System. Ships in convoys were easier to screen and protect from attacks, and the chances of more material making it to its destination improved even if there were some losses. Over the course of the war, the escorted convoy system, decoy ships (armed vessels disguised as merchants), recoverable ASW aircraft, and eventually long range bombers spelled the end of the successes the Germans enjoyed early in the war. The capture of U-110 by the HMS Bulldog, resulting in one of the biggest Intel coups for the Allies when her Enigma code machine and books were recovered intact, also significantly aided the allied convoy system. Early in the war, the Allies could not break the Enigma code and it was a big factor in heavy shipping losses. Afterward, they were able to read enough code to help convoys avoid known U-boat patrol locations. At the end of the war, combined efforts led to U-boat losses that were huge - a 75% casualty rate.
What was the souths Civil War strategy?
The main southern strategy was to defeat the attacking Union forces and force the northern states to negotiate.Later in the war, a slightly altered strategy was to take a major northern city (Washington, Baltimore, or even Philadelphia) to force the north to negotiate terms favorable to the south. This led to the Battle of Gettysburg.After the losses at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the south had no real strategy for victory. The strategy seems to have turned to inflicting as much cost on the Yankees as possible.

How does Forex hedging protect one against investment loss?
Forex hedging protects one against investment loss by hanging onto two "long" and "short" positions hoping that the results of each one (long and short) will partially cancel each other out. This will help offset any losses - at least that is the strategy that the investors hope for when doing this.
