What stragety did the allies use to win world war 2?

Answer 1

During World War II, the Allied strategies were generally quite simple. First and foremost, Germany was to be defeated. Then, and only then, would a full effort be directed against Imperial Japan. To some extent, this general strategy was in fact followed by the Allies consistently during the conflict.

Answer 2

To save Europe from collapsing first (Great Britain primarily); then to defeat Japan. This policy was largely adapted due to the lobbying efforts of England's Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who had been "TRYING" to get President Roosevelt into the war for years. After Pearl Harbor, Churchill had to fight the will of the American people's desire for revenge against Japan; Churchill convinced Roosevelt, that Europe had to be saved first. Consequently, General MacArthur's command was allowed to fall (Battle of the Philippines 1942), as was other US Outposts in the Pacific; until the needs of "Europe First" were met. A holding action was fought against Japan pending that objective. After enough military strength was alloted to Europe, the US began to conduct offensive operations against Japan, beginning at Guadalcanal in '42.

Answer 3

The "Island Hopping Campaign" contributed to the American victory in the Pacific in WW2. With the distance between the US West Coast and Japan some 9,000 miles, this was far too long a supply line to attack Japan directly. Instead, with the Marines invading and capturing islands on the way to Japan, the US forces built huge airfields, navy bases, and supply depots from which the Marines and Navy could rest, re-group, and re-supply before their next assault westward.

Answer 4

The U.S used atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to defeat Japan.

Answer 5

The war against Germany was mainly a land war; and the goal was to drive "towards Berlin." The war against Japan was mainly a war at sea; and the goal was to sail "towards Tokyo."
