Island-Hopping .
The Allies hit strategic islands that were needed for either basing for the Marines or the army, but mainly for the use of airbases to run bombing missions on Japan and other importing island garrisons and bases. So MacArthur and Nimitz hit the most needed islands all the way up to Iwo Jima and Okinawa. By the Allies 'island-hopping' strategy this allowed them to get closer to Japan, which was their main goal, in order to bomb it from the now captured island airstrips.
i believe it was the island hopping strategy
It was called Island Hopping. Certain islands of strategic value would be attacked and occupied while others would be bypassed and isolated. The goal was to bring mainland Japan within range for routine bombing attacks.
The US used a strategy called "island hopping" or "leapfrogging" to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater. Instead of trying to capture every Japanese-held island, the US selectively targeted and bypassed heavily fortified islands and focused on capturing strategically important islands that were closer to Japan. This allowed the US to gradually advance towards Japan while cutting off Japanese supply lines and isolating their forces on bypassed islands.
My friend was hopping in sport
This made it so they could control islands that had once been under the rule of Japan. It was successful because it was random and made it so the Japanese could not figure out what island would be invaded next and try to stop the invasion or try to intercept the fleet in the ocean.
The Philippines were strategic to both the Allies (especially the US) and to Japan. The allies had occupied the island for almost 10 years, it was their base in the Pacific. It was also a place where planes could stop and refule on their way to Japan. Japan wanted to take it from the Allies (the US) for that very reason. The could use it as a base to shoot down planes on their way to Japan.
1, regain the Philippines 2, to invade Japan to do this they would use the strategy of "Island Hopping" pussy hahahahahahha
A C E
because first off they were in great need of supplies due to the fact that most countries put an embargo on them. also they were losing ground when the allies started island hopping not to mention the fact that we dropped TWO atomic bombs on them
For hopping and to use self defence
