What was the American military strategy in the Pacific?
Please don't be offended by what I tell you. The commanding Admiral of the Allied Forces in the Pacific said this was their mission, "Kill Japs, kill more Japs." That was the term they used back then to refer to the Japanese. It was easier to say. The military strategy was to repel the Japanese from Southwest Asia and do an island hopping campaign to take back islands and push the Japanese back to their mainland. This is exactly what they did. It took years but they did it. The Atomic Bombs finally motivated Emperor Hirohito to surrender and stopped an invasion of Japan.
Where did the Geronimo campaign take place?

Why was it so important for the US to beat Japanese at midway?
the US called it "island hopping" which was a strategy to invade Japanese occupied islands. Their strategy was to fire an artillery barrage on the island shores by naval ships and then land infantry/armour on the island. Once the island was taken, the US would leave back a handful of ships and men to defend the island until the war was over. They did this to every Japanese occupied island. It was a turning point in the war because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour earlier in the war and now it's the island of Midway for the Americans to avenge the attack. The mission was to secure Pearl Harbour from the Japanese since Midway was in between P.H and Japan itself.
Why did Iwo Jima happen?
Just how far do you want to be taken back? Perhaps Guadalcanal, when we realized island-hopping was our only hope for beating the Japanese, or even further? Maybe Midway, when the United States managed to deal its first major blow against Japanese dominance in the Pacific, leading to the Guadalcanal/Solomon Islands campaign, or maybe to the start of it all? Pearl Harbor, where we realized that the threat of Japan was VERY, VERY real and that Japan had to be stopped in any way possible? Take your pick.

What was the strategy of the allies in the pacific theater?
WWII in Europe was a Land War. WWII in the Pacific was an Ocean War. Discounting the CBI Theater (China, Burma, India). The Axis (Japan) took islands in the pacific and fortified them into military garrisons/AIRFIELDS & NAVAL BASES. These were needed to "Protect" the Empire. The Allies (US, Britain, Australia, New Zealand) fought to take those island garrisons/AIRFIELDS & NAVAL BASES back. These were needed to "Attack" the Empire. That was the strategy. The tactics were NAVAL BATTLES. Whom ever won the naval battles; won the islands.
