Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "island hopping" is commonly used to describe the U.S. military strategy in the Pacific during World War II. This strategy involved selectively attacking and capturing key islands in the Pacific in order to establish air and naval bases closer to Japan, ultimately leading to the invasion of the Japanese mainland. Massive retaliation and saturation bombing were tactics used in other theaters of war, but not specifically in the Pacific.
