Allied Strategy: Island Hopping Campaign Seizing islands closer and closer to Japan and using them as bases for air attacks on Japan cut off Japanese supplies through submarine warfare Began in summer 1942 with Guadalcanal

1942: May and June American warships and airplanes damaged two Japanese fleets during the battles of Coral Sea and Midway This would weaken Japanese naval power Stopped the Japanese advance toward Hawaii

Douglas MacArthur began to retake the Philippines October 1944 Douglas MacArthur began to retake the Philippines

April 1945 Battle of Okinawa "Bloodiest island fight in the Pacific War" 12,000 Americans died Americans gained more airbases for raids against Japan (began bombing Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka)

July and August of 1945 Manhattan Project: Plans to build the first atomic bomb U.S. successfully tested the first atomic bomb in New Mexico in July In August, atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima
