During World War II, in the Pacific Theater of Operations, American strategy focused upon 'island-hopping' as a key to victory against the Japanese enemy. The purpose of this strategy was to bypass (while also isolating) enemy strongholds, focusing instead upon carefully selected islands of significance. Once taken, these islands served as forward bases for the next set of 'island-hopping,' with each move bringing the Allied forces closer to the home-islands of Japan -- and final victory.
