The United States defeated Japan in the Pacific through a strategic plan known as "island hopping," winning key battles such as Coral Sea and Midway. The campaign culminated in the capture of strategic islands and the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender. This victory marked a significant turning point in World War II.
