The Japanese planned on attacking the Aleutian Islands to combat the "island hopping" strategy that Douglas MacArthur was using in the Pacific Ocean.
Only islands that were not well defended.
The US did not gain their current territories of American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands as a result of the Spanish-American War.The US did gain the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Cuba as a result of the Spanish-American War.
i think it might be known since knowing something is an action
The United States has territories that they gained during the Spanish-American War. The Philippines, once a territory of the United States, was given independence 40-years after it was ceded by Spain to the United States. The current territories of the United States are Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marinara Islands, and American Samoa.
The strategy of island-hopping was to capture important islands, one by one, until Japan was in easy range of American bombers.
During World War II, in the Pacific Theater of Operations, the Americans devised a clever strategy in their effort to push the Japanese back to their home-islands and otherwise achieve victory. This was the strategy of 'island-hopping' or 'leap-frogging,' by which some Japanese strong-points would be isolated and left alone while others would be directly assaulted and then used as bases for further advances. This strategy depended on control of the seas, which is precisely what America started to achieve in late 1943.
suprise attaks
During World War 2, General Douglas MacArthur developed the strategy of island hopping. He would capture certain islands. The Americans would use those islands to get closer to their goal. He would leave Japanese troops on the other islands. He would not waste American lives trying to capture those islands. The objective was to get close enough to Japan to establish bomber bases capable of dropping bombs on Japan.
egrg
to capture some island and ignore others.

Island Hopping, focused on only important islands or bypassed island.
I believe it was known as "Island Hopping" where the U.S. tried to capture as many strategic islands as possible in an effort to push the Japanese back.
The Spanish-American War was a war fought oversea (meaning from one island to another) involving campaigns in both Cuba and the Philippine Islands.
Island hopping, also called leapfrogging, was an important military strategy in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The strategy was to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan
Yes there were many.
