From Wikipedia

Operation Causeway was a planned United States invasion of Formosa (Taiwan), the Quemoys (Kinmen Islands), and Xiamen Bay on the southeastern coast of Mainland China during World War II. At that time, Formosa was a Japanese colony since the nineteenth century. The island was seen as a possible next step in the planned Allied "island-hopping" advance across the Pacific after the capture of the Marianas in mid-1944. The objectives of Operation Causeway included securing control over the Taiwan Strait to establish a forward base for the strategic bombing and final invasion of Japan, while simultaneously linking Nationalist Chinese forces with an unbroken seaborne supply line to America's vast military-industrial complex.
