The Battle of Midway was a turning point in the war in the Pacific. The decisive victory for the United States halted the Japanese advance and shifted the balance of power in the region. It provided a crucial boost in morale for the Americans and allowed them to go on the offensive, ultimately leading to the eventual defeat of Japan.
The US Naval Fleet, The US Marine Corps, The US Army and the Allied Forces from other nations did the Island hopping to defeat the Japanese.
The goal of the American campaign against the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II was to defeat Japan and halt its aggressive expansion across Asia and the Pacific. This involved a strategy of "island hopping," where American forces aimed to capture key islands, establish military bases, and cut off Japanese supply lines. Ultimately, the campaign sought to reclaim territories occupied by Japan and pave the way for an invasion of the Japanese mainland, leading to Japan's unconditional surrender. The campaign also aimed to restore stability and security in the Pacific region.

I think the last invasion by US Forces in the Pacific is Okinawa. As with all the invasions it comes at a heavy price. The Japanese defenses are very hard to defeat and the death toll is high.
