Question

After the victory in the Battle of Guadalcanal, which of the following strategy was put in place by the Allies?

a. B-29 bombing
b. carrier-based warfare
c. island-hopping
d. guerilla warfare

Answer 1

After the victory in the Battle of Guadalcanal, it was "island-hopping" put in place by the Allies, since this victory had ended the first ring of Japanese fortifications in the Pacific. 

Answer 2

c. island-hopping

The Battle of Guadalcanal was the first of many island victories fought in the Pacific.

The strategy of island-hopping required the US marines to take an island occupied by the Japanese. Once the US gained control, the army would hold the island while forces moved on to the next island. This strategy was used all through the Pacific war until landing on the Japanese island.
