SHORT ANSWERS
What was the military strategy of “island hopping” which was used in
the battle for the Pacific?
Island hopping, adopted by General MacArthur and Admiral Chester
Nimitz, was the policy of attacking and capturing certain key islands
along the coast near the Far East. In island hopping, captured islands
were used as military bases for leapfrogging to islands closer to the
Philippines and to Japan.
How did the Great Depression lead to World War II?
The Great depression had hit Germany especially hard. Businesses
failed and millions of people had lost their jobs. Germans rallied
around Adolf Hitler who gained popularity by exploring people’s fears
about the economy. During the Depression, many Japanese suffered
lack of jobs and food shortages. As a result, military leaders rose to
power in the early 1930’s. These leaders thought they would solve
Japan’s problems by expanding Japanese power in Asia, so they
invaded Manchuria. Within three years, Japan signed a pact of alliance
with Germany and Italy.
