Any examples? I doubt it would be easier, but here are some things to think about. You cane easily transport large amounts of troops over seas, as well as supplies, you would have to go through neutral territories or enemies in Europe.
Also there are very little defenses on islands, there are anti aircraft guns on most coasts, but to get within range you could have massive amounts of troops there on the island, unlike the continent.
many islands population are low, compared to a continent
