Once we crippled the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Philippine Sea, we Island Hopped, which was us, as the U.S. going from Japanese-owned island to Japanese-owned island and retaking them. The Japanese could not properly stop us after the battle.
Wartime strtegy to take key islands and win the war in the pacific - fighting for wach indiv. island would have been too bloody and too long
"Island hopping" was the name given to the methods US Marines used to chase the Japanese from the Pacific Islands.
Island hopping, also called leapfrogging, was an important military strategy in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The strategy was to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan
Japan,germany, Italy, Finland and many more but the Americans more concentrated their attacks on east Asia, by island hopping to break the Japanese with help from Australia, and in the western front attacking the Germans with great Britain, France and Canada.
The east Asian roots of World War II are found in Japan. The island country needed more resources for industrialization. It began invading and occupying other nations to get to the resources.
Wake Island and the Philippines were within hours of being struck.
World War II
Island hopping was a strategy for gaining ground in the Pacific during World War II. The plan was to take control of an island, then jump to the next one. Eventually, this allowed the US to get close enough to Japan to bomb them repeatedly.
During World War II, the American strategy in the Pacific against the Japanese became known as 'island-hopping.' Through this approach to defeating their enemy, the U.S. military by-passed (or, hopped over) Japanese strong-points for the sake of securing selected islands elsewhere. These islands, once occupied, would then serve as forward bases for the next 'hop' forward -- closer to Japan itself.
Leap frogging or island hopping was how the Allies fought the Japanese in World War II. They concentrated on a few key islands that advanced their drive to Japan. They did not try to take every island. Admiral Nimitz took the Gilbert and Marshall Islands and then the Marianas and moved towards the Bonin Islands. General MacArthur took the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and then the Philippines.

The advantage the US had over other countries in World War II was its industrial might!
There were two basic theatres in World War II the US fought in. The Pacific theatre where the US Navy, Marines and Army focused on fighting Japan in island hopping. There was then the European theatre where mainly the US Army focused on fighting Italy and Germany mainly in Africa, Italy and mainland Europe.
