Question

what was the primary reason the allies seized saipan in 1944?
○ to liberate the people of saipan
○ to stop the japanese from moving west
○ to remove long - term military bases
○ to push north and west toward japan

Explanation:

During World War II, the Allies' strategy in the Pacific was to advance toward Japan. Seizing Saipan was part of the "island - hopping" campaign. The primary military objective was to gain a base to push north and west toward Japan, which would help in the eventual invasion of the Japanese home islands. Liberating the people was not the primary military - strategic reason. Stopping the Japanese from moving west was not the main focus here as the Japanese were on the defensive in the Pacific by 1944. And the goal was not mainly to remove long - term military bases but to use Saipan as a stepping - stone toward Japan.

Answer:

D. to push north and west toward Japan
