What strategy did the US fight the Japanese?

The United States employed a strategy called "island hopping" during World War II to combat Japanese forces in the Pacific. This approach involved capturing strategically important islands while bypassing others, allowing the U.S. to establish bases for further military operations and to cut off Japanese supply lines. Additionally, the U.S. utilized heavy aerial bombardment and naval power to weaken Japanese defenses and morale. This strategy ultimately led to significant victories, including the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal, paving the way for the eventual invasion of Japan.
