During World War II, the American strategy in the Pacific against the Japanese became known as 'island-hopping.' Through this approach to defeating their enemy, the U.S. military by-passed (or, hopped over) Japanese strong-points for the sake of securing selected islands elsewhere. These islands, once occupied, would then serve as forward bases for the next 'hop' forward -- closer to Japan itself.

It was called "island hopping". The Americans would take island by island from the Japanese in the pacific to weaken their grip on Southern-Asia. The most common known example is Iwo Jima were both parties took huge losses over a little island in the pacific. Even after losing all their territories the Japanese refused to surrender and according to American generals an invasion of Japan would cost a million American lives. This seems like a lot but you must understand that the Japanese saw their emperor as a descendant of God and nearly all Japanese soldiers wouldn't doubt to give their lives to defend Japan.

Both MacArthur and Nimitz knew the major islands held by the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean had to be taken by the US. They developed an Island Hopping strategy. They would skip every other island they came to (there were too many small islands to deal with). This would cut off supply lines to the islands they skip, lessen casualties, and save a lot of time. Japan had made the error of not devoting enough of its army to the Pacific Islands. They also failed to have enough aircraft carriers. This gave the US an advantage.
