What was General Douglas MacArthur’s island-hopping strategy?

History
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
7 0
General Douglas MacArthur's island-hopping strategy involved sending US troops island-by-island across the Pacific to dislodge Japanese forces stationed on those islands. The US lacked the means to send troops directly to Japan primarily because the Japanese controlled numerous islands across the Pacific to serve as fueling stations for ships and air stations for planes. Through island-hopping, MacArthur gradually took out those Japanese forces and converted the islands into fueling and flight stations for the United States thereby allowing the US to move closer and closer to the Japanese mainland.

why did construction of the panama canal become more important to the United States after the Spanish American war?
labwork [276]
<span>US gained territory in the Pacific Ocean.

The Spanish-American War is the beginning of the imperial era in US history gaining their first territories from the war.

The US gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from the Spanish-American War and soon after completed the annexation of Hawaii. With colonies in the Pacific and trade connections growing in Asia, the US needed a quick way to move resources and ships from the East coast to these new areas. The canal through Panama made the naval commute shorter and faster as well as safer.</span><span />
