Answer 1

a. Island Hopping
During WWII in the Pacific Theatre, MacArthur and Nimitz used said strategy to bypass certain points where the Japanese had entrenched positions to attack other, weaker points that could be used to attack more vital areas.
Kamikaze missions were used by the Japanese against the US
The Manhattan project developed the Atomic Bomb and was pretty much a secret
Lightning Warfare, aka Blitzkrieg, was used by Nazi Germany in its conquest of Europe.

Answer 2

a. Island Hopping

Rather than waste U.S. lives capturing every single Japanese held island, it was devised only to capture strategic islands and by-pass those not important.

The capture of the strategic islands isolated the other islands from Japanese convoys and supplys, basically the ignored Japanese soldiers could not get off or be re-supplied so they starved and were forgotten.

Every so often in the 1960s or 70s they found a lone Japanese soldier still fighting the war not knowing it ended.
