Which strategy did the Allies adopt against Japan in World War II?

In the Pacific War, American military commanders followed a strategy called "Island Hopping" to fight against Japan on land and in the sea. It consisted in taking small islands in the Pacific to turn them into bases and gradually come closer to the very Japanese islands. The main idea was to make it possible for the Allied air force to bomb targets in Japanese territory ir order to destroy infrastructure, logistical chains and sites, and crush civilian morale, paving the way for the invasion of Japan. The campaign was led by US Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
