The Allied forces primarily advanced toward Japan through two strategies: the island-hopping campaign in the Pacific and the push from the Philippines. Island-hopping involved capturing key islands, establishing bases, and bypassing heavily fortified ones to get closer to Japan. Concurrently, forces in the Philippines, after regaining control, aimed to launch further assaults on the Japanese home islands, ultimately leading to the final stages of the war. These strategies effectively weakened Japanese defenses and facilitated the Allied approach to Japan.
