The Island hopping strategy was originated from Allied General Douglas MacArthur in WWII. The idea was broken down into three easy steps:
1. Bomb the Island
2. Invade the Island
3. Build an airfield to bomb the next island
The reason behind Island Hopping is so the US could get close enough to Japan so they can use the Atomic Bomb to force the Japanese to surrender and end WWII on The Pacific Theater
