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.

Describe the journey that a molecule of water at the tennessee rivers source takes to reach memphis
lesya692 [45]
The water molecule starts arriving from one of the two rivers that form the Tennessee River, the Holston and French Broad rivers, in Knoxville. From there, it follows the course of the river, towards Chattanooga, always heading southwest, seeking to reach the neighboring state of Alabama. Enter through North Alabama, looking at the city of Decatur, and then Florence, to follow the current and decide to visit the State of Mississippi by the border, in Pickwick Lake, to end its hectic and interstate trip, returning to Tennessee; helping to define the great Tennessee Divisions: the Middle and the West, to finally connect with the Kentucky Lake.

kipiarov [429]
The main economic factors that encouraged the growth of slavery was the heavily agricultural basis of the South's economy, which relied very much on slave labor. The geographic location of the southern colonies also made tobacco growth, and thus a demand for slaves high.
