What was the island hopping strategy and how did the alliwes use it to help win the war against japan?
The island hopping campaign strategy consisted of attacking Japanese held island that could be used to land allied airplanes or be used for supply bases or hospital bases. The idea was not to go island by island but to go after the islands that would best suit the allied forces and also to destroy the islands where the Japanese had a lot of military personnel and equipment. They wanted to get closer and closer to Japan. They had to start near Australia and the in the West Indies first because Japan was a huge problem in that area. The strategy and the actual carrying out of the plan is complex. See the links below to see which islands they went to and what happened on those islands. Many allied pilots and air crews were extremely grateful for the allied captured islands having airfields. Some were seen to get down on the ground and kiss it after they landed on Guadalcanal, Saipan and Iwo Jima. Some say they would have died in the ocean had the island airfields not been there for them to land.
