How did the allies strategy to defeat Japan in the Pacific work?
Their strategy was to split the Allied Forces in the Pacific. MacArthur lead forces in the SW Pacific. He was based in Australia. His force went after the Japanese to repel them from the islands. They had to cut off the communications lines of the Japanese by re-taking some of the islands the Japanese occupied near China. Nimitz led the Naval force that went after islands starting from the Coral Sea and on up to the mainland island of Japan. They began an island hopping campaign to take back American possessions and liberate the islands the Japanese had invaded. It took them three years to accomplish this because they had to build up the Naval fleet again. The other problem they had was their enemy. The Japanese were very fierce warriors making them difficult to defeat. They were clever too. They would hide underground or fight only at night. The Naval Japanese leaders tricked and trapped the US Naval vessels too. But the strategy the Allied Forces chose to use did work. They won the war.
