What was George Washington clever plan for the first battle fought in New Jersey?
I think because he made all his soldiers hide in the bushes and attack at the same time not standing in lines and attacking. There are way more higher possibilities that you might get killed easily when you stand in line with no hiding or letting the other team notice where you are.

How did Japan plan on attacking the U.S?
Attacks were planned and executed against the US West coast by use of balloon bomb. They were not effective. Submarines did fire on the West coast, they were ineffective. Submarine's designed to attack the Panama Canal were designed and built but they were never put to use. Japan never intended an invasion of the US, or Hawaii, their attack on the Aleutian Islands was a feint. Japan wanted a free hand in the Pacific Ocean and hoped that by attacking the US Fleet they could buy time to consolidate their hold on Southeast Asia and China and then to effect a negotiated peace settlement. That failed.

What was the key tho the American success at midway?
"Magic". This was the cover name given to the US effort at signals interception and decrypting Japanese coded radio messages. Through this the US knew of Japan's plan to attack Midway. The Japanese always used very complicated plans, and Midway was no exception. The Japanese appeared to be moving on three objectives at the same time - but which was the real one? The Japanese did capture two islands in the Aleutians, off Alaska, as one of the Midway diversions. The US had only three aircraft carriers in the Pacific. Because of the success of "Magic" the US Navy was able to have these in position to intercept the attacking Japanese fleet at Midway. The rest was accomplished through bravery, skill, daring, and some very good luck.
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.
What was the name for the Allied strategy to regain territory lost to the Japanese in the pacific?
The Original Strategy to fight Japan was code named "Orange." This formerly top secret plan (the US had a plan for nearly all main power nations, Germany's plan was code "Black') was geared to fight Japan "at sea", moving closer to her main islands (home land) then engage in one big decisive "Armageddon" type battle. This plan was based upon the use of "Dreadnaughts" (Battleship Fleets). The plane was designed before the coming of the aircraft carrier & nuclear weapons. The actual WWII fighting involved an "Island Hopping" campaign; designed around the world's new weapon, the aircraft carrier. This strategy involved "hitting them where they ain't." Instead of having a blood bath on every fortified Japanese Island, they would by pass them (hop over the islands-Island Hopping). Only fighting for the Islands that were absolutely necessary for advancing towards the Japanese Empire itself.
