Island hopping was a military strategy used during World War II, primarily by the United States, to capture strategic islands in the Pacific while bypassing heavily fortified ones. This approach aimed to cut off Japanese supply lines and establish bases for further attacks, ultimately leading to Japan's defeat. The strategy was devised by General Douglas MacArthur and endorsed by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, allowing Allied forces to advance towards Japan effectively.
