Which role did the policy of island hopping play in World War II?

1 answer:

4 0

A would be correct. The US employed “island hopping” or “leapfrogging” tactics as a way to quickly move across the Pacific toward Japan. A small landing force could decimate a Japanese stronghold and replace it with an American base from which another landing force would launch. It cut back on cost and time, since a fleet wouldn’t have to return to a base thousands of miles away to refuel and regroup any longer.

IrinaVladis [17]

Sir Thomas More was executed because he would not accept Henry VIII as head of the Church in England. Option B is correct.

Sir Thomas More was venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More. He was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532.

Sir Thomas opposed the king's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England.
