Battle of the Pacific

Shaping Military Strategy “Island Hopping” is the phrase given to the strategy employed by the United States to gain military bases and secure the many small islands in the Pacific. The attack was lead by General Douglas MacArthur, Commander of the Allied forces in the South west Pacific, and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet. The US troops targeted the islands that were not as strongly defended by the Japanese. They took control of those islands, and quickly constructed landing strips and small military bases. Then they proceeded to attack other islands from the bases they had established. Slowly the US army moved closer to Japan, taking control of many of the surrounding islands.

US ACTIONS PRIOR TO DECEMBER 7TH 1941: 1) Roosevelt and the USA gov’t- 50 old destroyers (ships for bases) were given to Britain in exchange for 99 year leases at 7 different sites around the world. 2) Cash and Carry- Britain could pay cash for war materials made in the USA, and then had to transport them off American soil. 3) Lend-Lease- The US Congress passed a law that allowed the USA to help supply any armies whose defense was considered vital to American interests. 4) USA supplies were given to the Philippines and Chiang Kai-Shek of China, in its fight against Japan. 5) July 26th 1941, all Japanese assets in the USA were frozen. 6) October 4th 1941, the USA cut off 90% of Japan’s oil supply.

JAPAN’S ACTIONS PRIOR TO DECEMBER 7TH 1941: 1) Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 2) In 1937, Japan invaded China. 3) Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. Japan invited other countries to join its empire. When they wouldn’t, Japan realized it would have to use imperialism. A nice name to dress up the fact they it was countries they often colonized. 4) Japan received special privileges in French Indochina courtesy of Petain’s government in Vichy. 5) Japan’s major obstacle in the Pacific region was the USA so the attack on Pearl Harbour was launched.
