The U.S. strategy of island hopping during World War II involved capturing specific islands in the Pacific while bypassing others, effectively cutting off Japanese forces from supplies and reinforcements. This approach aimed to establish a series of strategically located bases to facilitate further military operations, such as air strikes and naval support, against Japan. The ultimate goal was to reach the Japanese mainland, allowing for a potential invasion and the end of the war. This strategy enabled the U.S. to conserve resources and focus its efforts on key locations, accelerating the defeat of Japan.
