Answer 1

After Pearl Harbor the battle plan for war with the Japanese was sunk literately. Naval officers had planned on a battleship war in the Pacific but that was no longer a possibilty. As a result the US turned to a new capital ship the Carrier. Over the course of the Pacific war the US Navy propolled by new Carrier task Forces slowly drove the Japanease back, in battles like Midway, the Coral Sea, and the Marinias. It took awhile for the carriers to come on line, so the Navy used Submarines to fight a hit and run war against Japan. As the war continued the American Navy adapted the submarine tactics of the German Navy and began to target Japanease shipping. By the end of the war US Subs had effectivly cut off Japan from the raw materials needed to wage modern war. Thousands upon thousands of tons of Japanease shipping was sunk during the course of the battle and played a decisive role in Japans surrender. Finally the Island hopping ground offensive that the USMC, and the US Army launched against the Imperial Army of Japan. Starting at Guaducanal the US began a series of Amphibious assaults attacking one Island after another getting closer and closer to the Japanease home islands. Battles like Okinawa, Iwo Jima, the fight to retake the Phillipinis in which Mcarthur kept his word slowly moved the US to within striking distance of Japan. Once within range American B-29 bombers went to work leveling Japanease cities and destroyed the Japanease ability to wage war using a mix of HE, and incidenary bombs. The results of this bombing offensive are best examplified during the raid on Tokyo which killed more people than either of the Atomic bombs. On a side note each island became bloodier and bloodier to take the close to Japan the US got. It was the horrific casualties on Okinawa that forced the Truman to use 2 special B-29's to usher in the nuclear age.
History shows the stategies and tactics the US used were succesfull as Japan signed the surrender document about a US battleship in Tokyo Bay.

Answer 2

The strategy was to stop Imperialist Japan at any cost, because if the Japanese won, our lives would have been surgeit (as is the case with the Arabs and Mexicans now).
The world's first nuclear bombs were dropped; that put an end to the Japanese use of slave labor to produce their products.
The Japanese love to torture their captives; they would cut the arms, legs, heads off people, making other prisoners watch. They tied people down on bamboo, which would grow up through their bodies.
If you are going to ask what we did to stop them, ask WHY we were trying to stop them.
The U.S. taught the Japanes Capitalism and Democracy; McArthur and others ruled over the Japanese until the Japanese could do things on their own (a lesson for Iran, Iraq, Korean and others).
So, yes, it was successful; Japan is now the leading economic power in the Orient.

Answer 3

The strategy was to cutoff and isolate large pockets of Japanese forces and let them wither due to lack of supplies and support. Entire Japanese armies sat in places like Indo-China and Taiwan. Tens of thousands of troops were left marooned on Wake Island, Rabal and the Southern Philippines.

American submarines ravaged Japanese shipping which cut the main Japanese islands off from imported raw materials.

Finally, bombers from Guam pounded Japanese industry into the ground.

Answer 5

very bad strategy plans the US made hills and waited for the Japanese to come then the US made holes and went through it to get to the other side then they shot the Japanese until they were shot and then the Japanese went through the holes while the us climbed over the hills and they kept repeating the process until one of the army dies (they also used trenches)

Answer 6

It was the hydrogen bombs. It was not to kill as many as it did. It was to stop their nonsense ideas of overtaking anothers country, and to end the war early. A tactic that by today's standards of another countries encroachment upon ones own country should be used more often.

Answer 7

The strategy was try to kill as many as possible.
IT was very successful, we won
