Japan is an archipeligo - essentially the top of a mountain ridge that rises above sea level in many places, each place forming an island in the chain. The Japanese archipelego begins from just north of Taiwan and ends just offshore of Russia (the last Japanese-controlled island is still a matter of dispute between these two countries).Mt.Fugi

No, two one-fourths of salt is equal to one-half, not one-eighth. To get one-eighth, you would need four one-eighths combined.

An archipeligo is a small island usually with reeds or such plants covering it. Commonly found in Stockholm, Sweden.
The correct spelling is archipelago, a group of islands in a chain or country.
Yes the country of Fiji is an archipelago. it is made up of over 332 islands and is located in the South Pacific Ocean.
Uhh...No, it's 8 and there is a 9th submerged in the ocean. Maybe your thinking of the Polynesian archipeligo.
No. The British Virgin Islands is an independent country (although it is an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom). The U.S. Virgin Islands are a U.S. Territory. However, geographically, they do largely form one continuous archipeligo.
An archipelago is a chain of island. Eg The Hawaiian Island. I think the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean also is an archipelago.
'Nesia' comes from the Greek and means 'Islands': Melanesia means 'islands of the black-skinned people', Micronesia means 'small islands', Polynesia means 'many islands', Indonesia means 'Indian islands' (Indonesia was once known as the Indian Archipeligo).

The 165th infantry regiment was part of the 27th Infantry Division, composed largely of New York national guard units. They fought in the Pacific in the Bismark Archipeligo, the Philippines, on Saipan (where they faced the last and largest Japanese banzei charge of the war), and Okinawa. On Saipan they were under the command of Marine General Holland Smith, whose contempt for the US Army was legendary.
The answer to the question is complicated by the nature of the answer. For some people (read Irish people) Ireland was never a "British Isle" but rather a self-contained archipeligo adjacent to another geopolitical entity called Great Britain and its islands. For those people the term is an anachronistic legacy of the imperial geography of the 19th century reflecting imperial politics that has no relevance in the 21st Century and is a term that should be dropped, just like the term 'Third Reich', and be replaced with a more inclusive term for the set of islands. For others (read some British people, for whom the distinction is not important) it hasn't - the British Isles are all of the islands, irrespective of political affiliation. If the archipeligo was named the Irish Isles the term might be in greater dispute and therefore some have advanced the term "British and Irish Isles". Some people argue that the term is only geographical but get surprisingly upset at the suggestion that it is imperial geography, and that they should use a term that recognises the Irish presence, and the fact that for Irish people Ireland is not a British island. Historically and politically, the state of Ireland broke with Westminster (London) in 1919 with a declaration of independence and was partitioned by treaty in 1921. This state then started out as the 'Free State', and broke from the United Kingdom in 1937 as Ireland/Éire (AyReh : i.e. AyReland), and formally confirmed its divorce in 1949. One could say that the term became defunct in the Republic of Ireland in 1921 as the Irish could formally object to their inclusion within that term, whereas Northern Irish people of British identity can continue to use the term.
