U.S. in WWII: Pacific Theater

“The Pacific war was a seemingly endless series of amphibious landings and island-hopping campaigns where naval power, air power, and shipping, rather than large and heavy ground forces, were of paramount importance.” -Jeroline Green

“Island-Hopping” Strategy used by the US to gain military bases and secure the many small islands in the Pacific US troops targeted the islands that were not as strongly defended by the Japanese. They took control of those islands Quickly constructed landing strips and small military bases Attacked other islands from the bases they had established Slowly moved closer to Japan, taking control of many of the surrounding islands.
