Island hopping, a military strategy used by the Allies in the Pacific during World War II, resulted in the systematic capture of strategically important islands while bypassing others. This approach allowed forces to establish bases closer to Japan, ultimately facilitating air and naval operations and weakening Japanese defenses. The campaign significantly contributed to the Allied victory in the Pacific, culminating in Japan's surrender in 1945. Additionally, it helped establish a foothold for post-war American influence in the region.
