What is the strategy of controlling one small island after another

History

Island Hopping               After the Battle of Midway, the United States launched a counter-offensive strike known as "island-hopping," establishing a line of overlapping island bases, as well as air control. The idea was to capture certain key islands, one after another, until Japan came within range of American bombers. Led by General Douglas MacArthur, Commander of the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific, and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, the first stage of the offensive began with the Navy under Nimitz, and Marine landings on Guadalcanal and nearby islands in the Solomons. From that point on, Nimitz and MacArthur engaged in "island-hopping" amphibious drives that bypassed strongly-held islands to strike at the enemy's weak points. In an effort to liberate the people of the Philippine Islands, MacArthur pushed along the New Guinea coast with Australian allies, while Nimitz crossed the central Pacific by way of the Gilberts, Marshalls, Marianas, Carolines, and Palaus. Both campaigns would entail seemingly endless, bloody battles — ultimately leading to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese.

How did the jesuits et out to spread the catholic faith
antiseptic1488 [7]

The Jesuit order was founded in 1539 in Rome (Italy) by Ignacio de Loyola, a former nobleman of the Basque noble family of Azpeitia (Guipuzcoa), who found faith after being wounded during a battle in Pamplona in 1521, and approved by the Holy See in 1540, following the bull of Pope Paul III 'Regimini Militants Ecclesiae'.

The Jesuits have an almost military type structure (absolute obedience), a clear mission (to the greater glory of God), a total lack of concern for worldly successes (vain desires).

With the Latin motto 'Ad maiorem Dei gloriam' (To the greater glory of God), the Jesuit order aims to spread the Catholic faith through missions, apostolate, teaching and science.

According to their rules, they work for the evangelization of the world, in defense of the faith and the promotion of justice, in permanent cultural and interreligious dialogue and the engine of the company is to deepen humanistic studies and scientists to deliver them to the schools and colleges that were opening in Europe.

Since its beginning, Jesuits have run the most important centers of higher education in Europe, including the prestigious Roman College, in addition to providing services in countries where the Catholic religion was persecuted or banned.

An important work was the undertaken by the also Basque, San Francisco Javier in his missionary work of conversion in India, Japan and China.

The Jesuits, in addition to the three vows of the religious - poverty, chastity and obedience - profess a fourth, related to the obedience to the Pope, to which they are thus united in a special way.
