Good morning!

us forces did not attack japanese-held islands with no strategic importance.

Also known as leapfrogging, island hopping is a military strategy aimed at attacking specific targets. In the WWII case, Japanese islands. The idea is to invest resources intelligently, avoiding wastage in fortified locations.
