What the movement of Allied troops revealed about their strategy is that the Allies overtook outlying islands to make access to Japan easier.

During World War II, the Allies used a military strategy in the Pacific War against Japan and the Axis. It was kwon as “Leapfrogging”, or “Island Hopping.” This strategy was considered to have a detour or a roundabout way the defended Japanese positions full of soldiers and weapons.
