Describe the war in the pacific.
why was the battle of midway such an important battle in the pacific?
why did the united states employ the island hopping strategy?
how did the united states view the people of japan?
why did the united states decide to use a nuclear bomb on japan?

1. The battle of Midway was important because it stopped the Japanese invasion in the Pacific. During the fight all four of Japan's large aircraft carriers—Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu, part of the six-carrier force that had attacked Pearl Harbor six months earlier—and a heavy cruiser were sunk, while the U.S. lost only the carrier Yorktown and a destroyer.
2. The idea was to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan
3. The Americans, for the most part, viewed the Japanese people with anger because of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
4. The United States decided to use a Atomic Bomb to get Japan to surrender because without it they would continue fighting till the very last man.
