The goal of the Allied island-hopping campaign in the Pacific during World War II was to capture key islands and use them as bases for advancing towards Japan. This strategy aimed to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions, thereby conserving resources and minimizing casualties. By securing strategic islands, the Allies could establish airfields and naval bases, facilitating further military operations and ultimately leading to Japan's defeat.
