Island Hopping
during the assault on japan's coast in WWII, the allied generals employed a strategy called island hopping, or "leapfrogging", where, upon attacking and seize a Japanese island, they would use it as a base to launch assult on another island. This stratagy allowed the allis to launch a sustained attack on the japanese islands and make their way to the mainland.
before attacking an island, they would be completely blockaded to weaken their defenses. when that island was conquered, it would serve as the base for the next blockade and assault. this strategy served the allies very well, allowing them to attack japan swiftly, and cut off islands that they couldn't overrun.
