Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This campaign was the first major offensive on land against the Japanese. It was mostly led by the U.S. Marines, who captured an important Japanese airfield. U.S. forces pushed closer to Japan throughout 1943 and 1944, scoring hard-fought victories at Tarawa, the Philippines, and Guam.
Detailed explanation-2: -There were two primary benefits to this strategy: First, it could be accomplished with fewer troops. Second, it meant the cut-off enemy forces couldn’t be pulled back to reinforce important objectives, like the Philippines. Bases seized by the Allies were used to launch strikes that targeted enemy supply lines.
