Please don't be offended by what I tell you. The commanding Admiral of the Allied Forces in the Pacific said this was their mission, "Kill Japs, kill more Japs." That was the term they used back then to refer to the Japanese. It was easier to say.

The military strategy was to repel the Japanese from Southwest Asia and do an island hopping campaign to take back islands and push the Japanese back to their mainland. This is exactly what they did. It took years but they did it. The Atomic Bombs finally motivated Emperor Hirohito to surrender and stopped an invasion of Japan.
